SDLC 110: Learning Journal 7

[Tenaya Bien]

So far, I think that my techniques have been pretty effective to help me learn Turkish. I would like to be able to dedicate more focused time to reviewing what we learn in our lessons and maybe rewriting them would help to cement them. In addition, I would like to be able to spend some time on my own in a quite place practicing listening and pronouncing out loud the new words I've been learning. The applications and programs are good but it is hard to find a quiet spot to practice out loud. I'll have to work on that. Overall, I think that my learning plan has been effective. In addition, Sezgi has been teaching us other basic topics that are not part of my learning plan but will probably be useful. Things like the weather that I never really considered learning as part of a basic practice. I enjoy learning these things with her since I wouldn't have thought to learn them first even though it might help to just generally strengthen my vocabulary and comprehension skills.
