Week Six Reflections

[Becky Walker]

This is the first week where I felt as if I were trying to put too much together too quickly. I have included an objective from week six and kept it on my objectives for week seven, as I don't feel comfortable in my competency to explain directions to someone. I felt as if there were too many filler words which I was not yet familiar with, despite my having learned how to say the third street on the left, I could not say phrases such as "then continue" or "as you are approaching".Other than this objective, I feel as if I am progressing. I am beginning to pick up more of the words and phrases while listening to the BBC Farsi, which makes the task far less frustrating. I was pleased with my artifact as one of my benchmarks, as it displays what I feel comfortable with up to this point. I have learned more vocabulary and tenses than I included, however, I do not know how they grammatically function in a sentences--which is why they are being left until later to be recorded.
