This week my learning goal has been improved comprehension trough interpretation of speaking. I first watched news reports in Greek with my language partner at my side. I then interpreted the meaning of the report, basically summarizing the video. Then we re-watched the video and I attempted to instantly translate the report as the video ran. This second part was far more challenging. The video I used was from a joint conference between the Greek Prime Minister and EU Representative Giani Pitela. I worked with only Tsipras' parts of the video, but despite this the translation was definitely the most challenging activity I have done thus far. Link to video below:
I also decided to listen to some Greek rap music again on my own time since I was focusing on listening this week. Trying to rap with the song came easier this week from previous times and the pronunciation of flow of my speech was greatly improved.
