Self Taught Languages- Jaime

This week is the last week of the course, below is a reflection of how I think I did in the course: Over these few months of this course, I was able to learn from scratch a new European language- German. I chose to learn German because I was fascinated by its history and also because I have family members living in Germany, so I felt intrigued by the language. German to me right now is still quite unfamiliar as throughout these weeks, I have only learnt various simple vocabulary and simple grammar. In the future, I hope to further my learning by progressing and being able to make sentences from the vocabulary I learnt. Looking back at the targets I set myself in week 1, I found that I have been able to achieve most of them, such as being able to introduce myself, identifying animals, order food, understand basic phrases and describe my family members. However, I did not achieve all of my targets as I still cannot describe my daily routine, pronounce the German alphabet or hold ...

This week I finished making all the Quizlets of all the vocabulary I learnt and revised the numbers and time topics. I found this extremely helpful as it refreshed my knowledge on the basic vocabulary of my language. Link to my German Quizlet Folder

Week 10 This week I made Quizlets for most of the vocabulary I learnt throughout this course. This is because I realised that I have actually forgotten most of the things I learnt at the start. Therefore, I used this time to create Quizlets for the first few weeks of vocabulary and I completed the learn task. I decided to do this because I wanted to have a resource where I can continue to learn and revise German after this course ends.
