What's this?

A little reflection daily about my language acquisition

753

 When I started learning te reo a month ago, I didn't know very much at all. Initially, I had to collect sentences without knowing the overall meaning. I tried to select those that appeared simple enough for me to recognize them in a month's time when I would have more Maori under my belt.

And that's what happened. Today, looking over my 23 June 'batch' there were indeed several sentences I am now able to say that I understand. Thus I was able to leave them out.

Remember, my acid test is recognition. I am not saying that I would be able to produce those sentences; only that I would be able to understand them if I saw them on paper.
