SDLP 110: Learning Journal 4

[Constantinos Beauclair-Kolomtsas]

My goals for week 4 and 5 are to master the greetings and introductions. Introducing yourself and greeting someone are the first basic steps to any linguistic interaction and so by mastering these I can attain the necessasry initial knowledge to having a conversation in Turkish. Merhaba, Adim Costas, Adin ne?, and Gorusuruz are the basic key words with variants like Gule gule and hoscakal available for use if I wont to change the farewell part of the conversation. Obviously saying "Hello, My name is Costas,asking for the other person's name, and then saying goodbye" is not a natural conversation but it is an important beggining that I can build off of.
