I have finally decided what im going to do for my final project. I am going to get a tri fold poster board to put my project on. on the right side of the board I am going to have the history of Germany on it. then on the left I will put the process of how I learned the language and about the culture. Also it will be a map of how I got to the point im at. In the middle of my board there is going to be a large spinner with german phrases on each chunk of the pie. I will let each person who comes by spin the spinner guess what the phrase might mean and then I will tell them whether or not they were close to the actual meaning.

I can now count fluently to 20 except for 0. I can say some or most of the base words and the basic pronunciations but cant spell anything

today instead of continuing the search of finding a decent website to continue learning German I decided to learn a little bit more about the culture. I researched the Germany's history to see how it came to be. I also looked up what life is like now in the present. Germany was founded in 1871 and now in the most populous nation in Europe. Most germans eat very hardy meals consisting of some sort of potato dish, vegetable, and a main meat. They also eat a lot of bread. I will continue looking for a good website to continue learning the language next week.

I have learned how to count to 20 in german but I am not able to find a good reliable website to continue learning. This week I tried to find a good website and did find a quizlet site that is alright.

Name: Evie Robinson

Project Title:

Project Start Date: November 7th

Project Completion Date: May 2015

Mentor’s Name: Mrs. Browning

Brief Description: learning Swahilian 

 

Overview of Project Proposal

 

1. Project Objective:

The objective of my project is to be able to recognize words in swahillian if I ever went to one of the countries that still use it as their first language. Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi, Rwanda and Burundi, Somalia, and the Comoro Islands are the only places that still speak this language. Mission teams from all different churches and all different states go to some of these countries every year to help out some struggling communities. I would like to be able to communicate with them some and I definitely think it would help us share the word of god and teach them more.

 

1. Project Rationale:

I want to learn how to be able to speak another language so that ill be able to feel more in tuned with the world.

 

 

1. Project Steps:

First I want to be able to speak the small words and just start learning the basic parts of the language. I am using an online quizlet to learn the different parts of the language using the step by step slides.

 

4) Timeline of Activities:

 

5) Available Human and Material Resources:

 

• The online quizlet teacher
• Mrs. Browning
• The foreign language teacher at the junior high

 

 

6) Possible Road Blocks:

 

• losing the motivation to keep going
• not be able to find more links to learning the language
• go through a traumatic experience and forget everything that I have taught myself

 

7) Research Questions: 

How long has this language been around? How is it different than all the other languages and how is it created?
