During my first meeting with my language partner, we discussed my learning plan and the main goals that I had for this semester. We spent the learning session specifying which type of goals I wanted to accomplish and how to work towards them. For example, we looked over my “pre-test” and noticed that I may want to work on grammar, such as particles. For each session, we are planning to learn some new vocabulary and have a short grammar lesson tackling different issues.
We also wanted to evaluate my speaking skills, so we warmed up by having a conversation with each other about how our summers were. I noticed that I was doing fairly well, but I did stumble upon some words, which I had to ask my learning partner about. I wrote down those words and made an effort to review those words the following week. I would say that our first learning session went well because I was able to set goals and practice my speaking. I’m hopeful that our future learning sessions will go well too!
