My goals/objectives for these past two weeks:
- Complete chapter 1 “Antar Tetangga,” chapter 2 "Berbelanja untuk Hari Raya," chapter 3 "Di Desa," and chapter 4 "Kerja Sama Orang Desa" in Let's Speak Indonesian.
- Meet with my language partner to work on my reading, writing, and speaking skills;
Reflection:
I spent about 2 hours each week completing two chapters.
I learned/reviewed the following:
- How to use small talk to start a conversation, how to express surprise about a situation, how to offer help, how to welcome a newcomer, how to report information to others, how to ask someone to wait, how to offer good wishes for a religious holiday, how to request a favor, how to politely complain, how to make a comparison, how to express hope, and more.
These chapters included a variety of activities: Oral tasks, written tables and charts, and writing exercises. In addition to these activities, I took grammar notes and listed new vocabulary words.
In addition, I met with my language learning partner for 4 hours -- 2 hours/week. Our time was spent on engaging in oral conversational activities like role play and dialogue chats, as well as going over new grammar points and vocabulary.
