For my learning project, it was between journaling, cooking and learning French. At the end of it all, I decided to learn French. I ultimately decided on French because the only language I know fluently is English and although I may not be fluent in French by the end of this, I want to be able to speak and write a little more in the French language.
I do have a bit of background in French from being in French classes in elementary school and from taking French 100 at the university (but that was a long time ago). So, I want to refresh my mind on what I already know and to learn how to be able to have a conversation with someone in French. My background knowledge in French includes:
- the months of the year
- the days of the week
- the colours
- the seasons
- some numbers
- basic sayings such as “My name is…”
I will eventually be teaching French to my students potentially, so I want to know a bit of how to converse in French and be confident that I know it off hand instead of having to look it up. One of the resources that I plan on using is Duolingo.
Another resource that I plan on using is different YouTube channels to help me walk through speaking and writing in French. I am very excited but also nervous to begin because learning a new language takes A LOT of motivation & practice. But, I am looking forward to being able to speak and write a bit in French by the end of this! I wish everyone good luck on their learning projects going forward!
Sincerely,
Amie
