I have started to learn Cyrillic alphhabet. I realized I can easily remember some words, but that there are some words not coming into my mind at all. I can easily remember Д and ё because I thought they are similar to D and e. I think it important to relate a new thing to something faniliar to me when I learn language.
Learning Russian / Day 8
I have finished a section where I learned words about words and I achieved a feeling of accomplishment. Although I learned Russian for only 5 minitues every day, I could master one chapter soon. This app make me continue learning Russian with fun and without difficulty.
Learning Russian / Day 7
I remembered some words comppletly, but I am not sure that I can pronunce them exactly because the Russian alphabet is unique: it’s Cyrillic alphabet, so I need to learn the alphabet after finishing the section where I am learning words related to food.
Learning Russian / Day 6
It was the second time to use Drops, and I learned some new words related to food and two verbs. each of the verbs consists of two words. At first I thought it meant “to verb” , but probably it didn’t. I don’t know what it is now, but it may be clear after I learn more verbs. I could understand what my teacher said: this app is the application of Noticing.
Learning Russian / Day 5
I have started Drops to learn Russian. This app is good because it consists of only words and pictures and it’s simple. it’s just fun to pronunce a new word too.
Learning Russian/ Day 4
I’m learning Russian using the app “Duolingo”. It can be used for free, but if you make a mistake, the HP reduces and when the point goes down to 0, you can’t keep playing unless you pay. I realized that making mistakes is important to learn language, so I can’t learn Russian well using this apps for free.
Learning Russian / Day 3
I feel Russian is very different from English because some of a Russian word are equal to a few English words. For example, “я” means ” I am” and “это” means “this is”. That tells me how difficult learning another language is.
Learning Russian / Day 2
I can’t pronunce most of the Russian words from the text because there are many alphabets that I don’t know. However, I realised this is not so bad because I found that I was learning the Russian words by ear. I have heard learning by ear is the best way of learning language because a baby learns his native language by ear.
Duolingo 1
I have started to learn Russian. In detail, I learned about three simple words and basic grammar such as “this is …” and ” … is there”. What was difficult to me was learning spellings because there are some of alphabet I don’t know. Anyway I’ll keep Duolingo.
A little Princess
Although I’ve heard that A little Princess is a famous fairy tale, I hadn’t read it, so I tried this book.
This is a story about a girl whose family is rich, but suddenly become poor because of her father’s failure of his business. That changes her life badly. ( This work talk about bullying) Hoyever, she is so strong that she keep going forward. I would’t be able to do it. I want to be strong like her.
This book is for children, but it’s interesting to adults. It include important ideas and serious problems that we need to be consciosus of.
