SDLC 111: Learning Activity (Reflection)

[Pamir Niaz]

After creating my learning activity, I decided to put it to use and have someone attempt to learn the personal pronouns in Dari. I used the activity with a friend who is learning Arabic since the Dari alphabet is quite similar to the one for Arabic. He remarked that it was not too difficult; although it was troublesome writing personal pronouns he knew in Arabic in a different language that had a similar alphabet. In hindsight, I think the activity was effective for someone who knows the alphabet. The only realistic thing I would expect someone to be able to do from the activity, without knowing the language, is be able to pronounce the words. However, I do think I could have created a more difficult activity for someone who is just beginning to learn Dari or may already know a little bit of Arabic.
