SDLC 111 Bi-weekly Report #2

[Joora Baek]

• I was working on how to talk about my hobby and major, and my daily routine in Turkish. I also learned present continuous tense while I was learning these topics.
• I wanted to be able to say "I like playing the piano", "I like learning new language", "I get up at 10am", "I wash my face", "I brush my teeth", "I eat breakfast/lunch/dinner", "I go to sleep" and etc.
• I had a class with my language partner and he taught me how to say those sentences. I listened to some recordings of my language partner's friends introducing themselves, and filled in the blanks on the scripts about their hobbies, what kinds of languages they can speak, where they are from, and what they do. I learned different verbs related to daily routine, and worked on tenses. 
• I think I improved my listening ability a lot, because I was able to fill in most of the blanks after listening to the recordings few times. Also, I feel confident introducing myself. I improved in grammar as well because I have no trouble making sentences based on the conjugation that I have learned. I can apply the grammar rule to various verbs and subjects. 
• I will review the topics that I learned and I will write my own introduction talking about my major, my hobbies, what kinds of language I can speak, and my hometown. I will keep studying conjugations and apply them to different verbs and subjects. 
• I will keep practicing listening and speaking by listening to recordings and a CD in the Global Studio.
