Week 6

[Brian Mahoney]

My main goal for the past week was to start getting used to using the subjunctive. I've started to get a handle on it to some extent, but I'm still having a hard time. There are certain situations when I know to use it and I think how to use it correctly, but I'm still not very confident on when and when not to use it. I found a list of common verbs that it is used with yesterday that I'm going to look over more closely to get it down better. I think I understand it well enough to guess when to use it, and at least people can understand what is meant when I don't use it or use it incorrectly. I haven't made much progress in listening comprehension, but that's not surprising. It still takes me too long to translate/understand something to be able to follow anything longer than a sentence or two. I'm going to keep focusing on this area because I realize that it is going to continue to be my weak point. I've learned a lot of prepositions for time, but I'm not always sure how to use them properly.This week:- memorize list of verbs and phrases that involve the subjunctive- learn vocab for emotions, adjectives describing people's personality- work on using prepositions correctly- learn cardinal and relative directions- keep working on listening comprehension
