SDLC 110 Learning Journal # 8

[Sydney Freeman]

This week we learned about telling time which is such an important part of learning a new language. At first, I found it difficult to grasp because the words are very different from English, but once I caught on to the pattern it was a lot easier to understand. As I memorized the vocabulary and continued to practice with my peers, telling time became fun. In order to ask "What time is it?" we have to say, "Saat kaç?"And in order to respond saying, "It is 11" you say "Saat on bir". I also found it easier to learn this concept since I knew the number system in Turkish. It was also very helpful to play an interactive game to fully grasp telling time and apply what we learned in a fun and exciting way. I look forward to building on this knowledge by learning about the days of the week next class.
