This past week during our group session we went more in depth into Iranian culture and food. We especially talked about typical foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Maroof asked us what words we wanted to learn so we went through every meal and learned the Farsi vocabulary for typical dishes in Iran and Afghanistan. Some of these foods were omlets, fried eggs, kebab, rice, and macaroni. We also learned how to ask for specific foods at resturants and the typical manner in which food is ordered. Normally in the US we have a kind of cordial encounter with our servers. We say please and thank you a lot. In Afghanistan though, the dialogue is much more direct without many pleases and thank yous. Maroof also taught us how to ask for the check and andy utensils we might need.
I will be spending my time over the next week reviewing for the final exam. We have covered a lot of vocabulary and now it's just a matter of me practicing the usage of these words in sentences. I plan on focusing on sentence structure, on-sight-recognition of vocabulary words, writing and speaking. Basically I'm going over everything again. I also hope to focus on specific areas of Rosetta Stone to help me with these tasks.
