Les 1
I am sending in my first homework assignment tomorrow morning and I am so excited! I had to do Les 1, lesson 1, and record the answers on a cassette tape then mail it to my teacher. This studying from home is going to work out so well with my hours! I have to tell you though, it was hard! There was this one part where I had to listen to the words and distinguish between the /a/ sound and the /aa/ sound. Dag, naam, that sort of thing and it can be so hard! When I saw it, I did fine but I got a lot wrong when it came to listening. It’s a difference between a short a and a long a. I really thought I had some right when clearly I had no idea what I was hearing! I really need to practice that over again tomorrow!
I really like this! God I hope this helps me! So long as I do it every day and do my homework I should be alright. Right? Must think positive! It is what I tell Dutchie all the time. So I shall practice with you, my readers!
Ik heet Samantha
Ik ben Samantha
Mijn naam is Samantha
These are ways you can introduce yourself. (Jezelf voorstellen) I am Samantha, my name is…
Try something else; Hoe gaat het met je? How goes it with you? (or how are you?) Remember, the g is more like the harsh sound you hear in the language, German too. See I can teach you Dutch as I go along! A friend of mine from Selekt Mail is joining the Subway team and what little Dutch I know, I get to teach him! Sweet! Doei
