Reflection

Studying the vocabulary required for this class has had an impact on me in many various ways. Throughout life I have heard many words on the list from others, trying to act as if I knew what they meant, and now I look back and realize what was really being said. Also it has given me a wider range of words to use in my everyday language. Through our vocab I have not only memorized the meanings of the word, but I have actually began using them, making me seem more educated. Also it has helped me pass it on to others who do not understand the word nd ask me for its meaning, giving them another word to add in there speech. My favorite thing about the vocab chosen, is that most of the words give a hint of their meanings by the root word. Also a great way I have learned to find the meanings is by contex clues. Many have difficulty to remember the word, but looking at sentences with the vocab used helps significantly, and also creating original sentences helps one remember it. Whats great fun about the vocab is they are from things I have read, such as Funny in Farsi, which helps to understand the book more. It was also nice learning vocab from other countries such as baklava, the persian sweet. I am Palestinian, which is very close to Persian, so its very exciting to learn these type of words. Learning the vocab words has impacted my everyday life greatly.
