Week 4 & 5
For weeks 4 and 5, my goals are to learn how to count and also continue building on my basic vocabulary. So far, we have learned greetings, farewells, and since I was sick last week it was interesting to learn how to say I am sick "hastayim" and get better "gecmisolsun" in Turkish. We also learned more formality like how to say Ms. and Mr (hanim, bey). In order to fully grasp what I am learning and practice vocabulary I plan to have conversations with friends outside of the classroom and also start watching youtube clips in Turkish with subtitles. I also hope that as the weeks continue I am able to learn more about the culture of Turkey especially since we learned how to say holidays like valentines day "sevgiliter gunu", and happy birthday "dogum gunun". We also learned how to say professor and student and learned about classroom objects like desks, chairs, and the chalkboard. I know that with practice repetition, and continuing to immerse myself in the Turkish language and culture I will be on the way to reaching my goal of having a basic foundation in Turkish.
