This past week, I have completed:
- A review of Level 2 bahasa Indonesia (from University of Melbourne class)
- Chapter 1 "Teman Lama" in Indonesian Grammar In Context
- Met with my language partner for three hours to work on my reading, writing, and speaking skills.
Reflection:
I spent about 2-3 hours this past week going over my notes in my bahasa Indonesia (level 2) notebook. Specifically, I spent a lot of time on reviewing passive and active verbs, but I covered a great deal more. To re-acquaint myself with the material, I simply read through paragraphs and other items I had written so that I can sharpen my fluency and reading pace.
I also finished Chapter 1 in Indonesian Grammar In Context. I learned the following:
- Nominalization of verbs using -nya
- Indefinite pronouns formed from question words plus saja
- Review of passive verb forms
- Review of the active and passive verb forms
The chapter 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 3 hours. Some of that time was spent on reviewing old topics learned previously; the rest was spent on engaging in oral conversational activities like role play and dialogue chats, as well as going over new grammar points and vocabulary.
