For this activity I had to assume I was standing in a airport of a foreign country and I had to figure out how to talk with people in a new language.I also had to write a poem on how I would be.
Learning new languages is harder than I thought
I went out to get a dictionary to learn
It’s hard to pronounce
But I know I have to communicate
Went out to get some fresh air
And started wondering how I even got here
Hi again Sakina!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great poem, you must have excellent teachers. I think other languages are hard to learn too, but if you are just travelling you can usually get away with just learning hello and thank-you, and maybe the word for toilet haha! At least that is how I have managed. We are lucky because we speak English. It is known as "The second language of the world" which is pretty accurate.
I hope you're enjoying the programme and your holidays.

Talofa Sakina,
ReplyDeleteThis is a really good poem you've written for us Sakina, I am super impressed! Have you ever been to a foreign country where you didn't know the language? If you have, how did you feel? Were you scared, or were you excited?
Whenever I have been overseas, what I've noticed is that as long as you are friendly, polite and most importantly - willing to give their language a go, most people are pretty helpful and willing to help you out if you're a little bit lost or confused :-)
I hope to see you back blogging soon with us Sakina, your learning journey sounds like a lot of fun!
Until next time,
Dan.
