Attached is my learning plan for the semester.
This week, we learned about pronouns and verb conjugation (past tense only). We learned the words for I, you (informal and formal), he/she, we, and they. We also learned how to conjugate verbs in the past tense, which is by adding different suffixes to the end of the infinitive. For example, the infinitive ‘raftan’ means ‘to go.’ By getting rid of the –an ending and adding –am to the end, ‘raftan’ can be conjugated to the first-person singular form in the past tense. The word ‘man’ means ‘I’, so the sentences ‘man raftam’ means ‘I went.’ For homework, we had to write sentences like the previous one with various verbs and all the pronouns.
We also learned how to say where we are from and ask someone where they are from.
My goals for this week and next week are to work more on conjugating verbs in the past, work on communication, and work more on learning basic things (colors, numbers, days of the week). Doing the homework Mirwais has given us will help me with improving my grammar. We will be going to a Persian restaurant next week so hopefully that will help me work on communicating with people, especially since these will be Persian speakers whom I don't already know. I will evaluate my success by seeing how well I do on the homework, reflecting on how well I can communicate with people at the restaurant, and seeing if I can count to 100, name the days of the week, and name colors.
