SDLC 110 Learning Journal #2

[David Burchard]

I will not be using Rosetta Stone in my studies of Urdu.  That said, the bookmarked sites on Diigo and BYKI will be very useful as I explore them. I can learn much from these resources. One site in particular will help with interactive memorization of the alphabet's characters. Another site looks very helpful in learning common phrases. All of the sites I have used have been beneficial in their high degree of interactivity. What most of the resources I have looked at so far lack is the real person interaction—the invaluable linguistic interactions with a real human being who speaks the language as their mother tongue. This is why having a language partner is so invaluable for my learning experience.
