Week 6: Second Artifact
Week 7: Third Bi-weekly Post
For these weeks, we did one lesson with the objectives of learning how to express impossibility and negation. We also covered the expression of past events and some grammatical markers such as -il, -rul, and -aeso. In order to complete these tasks, we decided to continue with the strategy of the last lessons. We practiced listening to dialogues dealing with the given objectives and also did a reading lesson. These dialogues included new vocabularies and grammars so Brigid went over the rules and gists of the grammar lesson in order for me to have a better understanding. Because this lesson was a bit more extensive, we decided to stick to only one large lesson for these two weeks. She taught me to the adverbs "do not", "want to do but can't" and the markers "at/in" and "from". There was also the objective marker (-il and -rul) which is attached to a noun to indicate the direct object of a transitive verb. One is used after the a vowel and the other is used after the consonant ending. Lastly, we learned the pre-ending'-았/었/였-'. This was the most confusing for me which is why we spent more time focusing on this section of the lesson. We did a practice fill in the blanks to make the learning more efficient. Overall, I felt like we got a lot done and accomplished a lot. The strategies of doing listening and reading along with grammars seems to be working out well so far so again, we will continue doing this probably for the rest of the semester.
