In addition to discussing the resources (see above), outline how you have begun to work on your first language tasks.
- For my Task 2, topic 1 (Dining norms), I watched a youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMIfFQCEwpk. This video refreshes my memory of the way of ordering -- its dynamics -- and the pace of ordering. Also, the back and forth served as a good reminder of the Israeli "template" for conversation.
- Moreover, Mango conversations, Chapter 6 Food and Dining, lesson 41 is useful in obtaining pertinent vocabulary / a healthy reminder. It also gives me a good platform to work on my past tense verbs for dining. For example, in Hebrew, the past tense for to eat is "achal." However, it does not include with it "do," "does," or "did." So, What did Danny eat? --- Ma achal Danny? I am also learning the feminine past tense. Usually, you would add a "t" sound to the masculine verb. For example, "Achal" becomes "Achalat." And the noun "portion" in its plural form gets and "noht" ending because it is feminine. So, Mana -- portion -- become Manoht for portions.
