During weeks five and six I spent a decent amount of time building upon what I was doing in weeks three and four. I have steadily been working towards being able to write short paragraphs by weeks eight and nine. As I mentioned in my previous bi-weekly report, I needed some extra practice in constructing sentences. Fortunately, I was able to do some work in this area of my language learning as my language partner provided some assignments to help build my writing skills.
However, I also allocated some time to learning some sports vocabulary in preparation for my cultural project on sports in Afghanistan. It was really the first time during the semester that I had to heavily rely on a dictionary to complete my language goals for the week; which was a fun reminder of where I was a few years back during SDLC 105 / 110. Nevertheless, I wrote down the most sports relevant words that I could think of and come across in a Dari dictionary. Likewise, I also consulted with my language partner for some help to make sure I was headed in the right direction. Refer to my second artifact to look at some of the sports vocabulary that I learned during the last two weeks.
