SDLP 110: Learning Journal 11

[Constantinos Beauclair-Kolomtsas]

The goal this week was to work on my bigger numbers. In class we were introduced to counting into the thousands which is a major task considering I previously had worked on just counting to ten. Fortunately in Turkish its easy to count as long as you know how to count by ten, so 10, 20, 30, 40, etc. This is because if the number is 32 you simply state "otuz" for thirty and "iki" at the end for two, which makes 32. I worked on the memorization of the new numbers in the same way I worked on counting from 1 to 10. I counted things in everyday life and while watching Ezel. This helps me memorize and really absord the new words that I have been taught, which I believe will allow me to quickly count if I'm ever required to when visiting Turkey as a tourist someday.
