During our next meeting Sofia decided to touch on some grammar and start doing reading exercises. The previous exercise, which was writing words using letter from the alphabet was very useful, it helped me to recognize the letters. This time when I started reading it was easier for me because of that exercise. It is much easier to read children stories than complicated political articles. Therefore Sofia gave me a story about an ant who wants some honey, to read for my reading exercise. It was very difficult at the beginning, I had to stop to think what it says and then read out loud, took too much time. However, after reading it several times I got more familiar to it and it got faster. After reading this story I would be able to recognize the words I read if I'll see it anywhere else.
The grammar part was to find nouns and verbs in this exercise, by circling the words. After reading the story and understanding the meaning of each word was much easier to find the verb and the noun in each sentence. The next step for me is to write down all those verbs and nouns, translate and use them in a sentence.Slowly, slowly I am able to read the story without any help but there are still some moments where I can not combine the letter to make up a word that means something, I guess more practice and hopefully I will be able to speed up my reading.
