We are still in the introductory phase of the 44-week class where we talk about relatively simple topics. For example, our biographies, food, education, vacations, hobbies, family, and how we like to spend our free time. However, vocabulary for other, more complicated topics is starting to sneak into the lessons: human rights, protests, freedom of the press, domestic violence, corruption, the environment, and more.
Over the last couple of weeks, I missed one day of class due to illness. We also had Area Studies days twice, so there were only seven actual language class days. The days can feel long but the weeks are passing quickly. As week nine ended last Friday, we hit the 20% course completion mark.
