Week 2 Activities: Män som hatar kvinnor vs. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

[ac9xm]

During Week 2 of my studies: I have re-watched the Swedish and American versions of the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." The goal of the second week of my studies was to focus on film and to discuss the differences between the two films, express my opinion and gain knowledge and familiarity with basic film concepts and terminology. My language partner and I spoke at length about the similarities, differences, and our preferences. This was great practice for my spoken presentational skills because it required me to defend my opinions and present a short monologue on my opinion and provide a short description. Although it was good practice, there is great room for improvement and I look forward to becoming more comfortable in presentational speaking which I noted in my assessment to be one of my major weaknesses.
