Bonjour!
Je m'appelle Fida and this is the documentation of my learning journey for SLAT2002.
Throughout the weeks, I will update on my learning progress using some method recommended in the course. For the first blog entry, I will focus on outlining my draft to provide a clearer idea on what I will be doing. Below is my plan/proposal to learning French.
Your
title: My journey of learning French as my second language ( actually, it is my third language :D )
My
challenge:
In my opinion, the hardest part in learning French is to ensure my pronunciation is correct. This has been super difficult to me because my native language is Bahasa Melayu and I speak English most of the time. English and Malay pronunciation of the alphabets and syllables are totally different from French. I am not familiar with the use of accent in the spelling as we do not have it in Bahasa. It is so alien to me! However, I am pretty sure with a lot of practice I would be able to speak "understandable" French. Maybe not as good as the native speaker but good enough for people to understand me.
For my learning style, I like learning through exercises provided on online website or mobile application. The reason my preferred learning style is that most of the exercises online are nicely illustrated with interesting method of learning. This makes my learning experience more exciting, thus, motivates me to keep going and incites my passion in learning different language. Besides that, when learning is made easier and exciting, I find that it is easier for me to memorize the things that I have learned.
Analyzing from my preferred learning test, I decided to test some mobile application in order to enhance my French learning journey. I have downloaded Duolingo and also a French dictionary on my smartphone.
Below are my plan:
Week 1-2- Download the application and familiarize with the content.
Week 3-4- Proceed with exercises on Duolingo and browsing through French dictionary app.
Week 5-6- Record a video of myself speaking French and compare the pronunciation.
Week 7-8- Do a pronunciation test
Week 9-10- Try speaking to another course mate or French native speaker
My indicator to check on my progression is based on the feedback from my course mate/French native speaker and self evaluation. My goal is to improve my pronunciation so that my French is understandable by the public. I will ask them to rate my pronunciation and provide me with some useful recommendation on what should be improved.
