SDLC 110 Learning Journal 12

[Rosa M. Colon]

This week, my goal was to learn the days of the week, months, and seasons in Turkish.  Our learning partner provided us with the proper vocabulary and practiced our pronunciation  by having us repeat after her.  In order to try to help us remember the vocabulary, we went through and indicated which months sounded similar to English such as Mart=March and Mayıs=May.  Similarly we went through the days of the week and looked for patterns to help us remember them better.  We saw that Friday=Cuma, Saturday=Cumartesi, Sunday=Pazar, and Monday=Pazartesi.  These endings simply mean the day after so it made it a little simpler trying to memorize those four days of the week.  After class, I continued to study my notes.
