Week 8 (10/5/14):
Japanese: -I created and studied my Nakama chapter 1 quizlet flashcards Goals for next week: -Learn all of the Nakama chapter 1 material and go on to chapter 2 -Make quizlet cards of chapter 2 vocabulary that I don't know Bulgarian: -For the first time in weeks, I started studying a little bit of Bulgarian again. For some reason I'm not getting much motivation to study it, perhaps because it almost never comes up in my everyday life. Anyway, I read through the Bulgarian Survival Kit Online, so I practiced cyrillic recognition and pronunciation as well as vocabulary. Goals for next week: -Listen to the FSI Unit 1 tape 1 and Unit 2 tape 1 -Find another resource that will motivate me to study more ASL: -Went to two classes this week. -Midterms are next week, so I am reviewing Unit 1 and Unit 2, which is what we've been doing in class. Goals for next week: -Do well on midterms! Edited by Techan on 12 October 2014 at 7:08pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thought I would update… Gosh I've had such a difficult semester with all of my other classes… I will never do 18
credit hours ever again e-e. Week 11 (10/26/14) - Week 16 (11/30/14) I'm not going to lie, I did practically nothing with my self-study languages... Japanese: -I had a chat with my JSL/ASL friend's friend online in Japanese. Bulgarian: -Had Thanksgiving with a Bulgarian community. Got to hear everyone speak in Bulgarian, but didn't speak it myself.. too shy.. ASL: -The semester is coming to a close.. -We finished Unit 5 today and have our final exam on the 12th… Wish me luck! Surprisingly, Japanese really stresses me out to self study. I just look at my pile of Japanese books/website compilation and have no idea what I should work on, or if I'm wasting my time when I review simple things I already understand. I need a real challenge that will get me to the advanced level, but I can't find what works for me yet… As for Bulgarian, it's a lot more fun, but harder to become motivated to study. I feel like I don't want to study it at first, and then after I've finally studied, I feel really accomplished. We'll see where my studying goes next... Hopefully over winter break I will work more on languages. I plan to continue my ASL studies, but on my own. The class I took was very fast paced, and I learned a lot, but I think I'd feel less stressed if I could just watch an ASL youtube video from time to time… Too many words learned at once can really overwhelm me, although I did manage to remember around 90% of the material I'd say… o-O pretty sweet~ but stressful. 1 person has voted this message useful |
