SDLC 110 Learning Journal #3

[Berhaun Fesshaye]

This week my learning goals were to learn how to tell time, ask the simple who/where/what questions, learn the days of the week, and basic colors. I accomplished these goals with much more ease than I thought I would. I was able to form some short sentences by building off of what I have already learned. I learned these words and phrases by speaking with my language partner.  I have come to realize that my language partner is the best resource for me because I like to hear what each words sounds like so that I can write down my own phonetic transcription.  After going over these terms and forming sentences, I have been practicing on my own. Even though I am still at a beginner level in Amharic, I think I am on the right track to be able to complete all of the tasks I included in my learning plan.
