This week we learned the polish numbers one through eight. These words were pretty easy to pick up because they are some of the stepping stones of Polish. We ended up not being able to hangout this past weekend, but we face timed and Aimee's dad helped us wit pronunciation of the numbers. We were able to hang out on Friday to make the perogis after the Davie football game. We had so much fun pretending to be apart of the true Polish culture. At first Aimee's mom showed us how to do it then we tried making them on our own. We tried ours and they turned out pretty delicious. Check out our quizlet below that includes the numbers we learned. We hope you come back next week to see what we do next!!

Last week me and Aimee didn't have time to hang out so we decided to make the porogies later this week, but so far this week me and Aimee took a break from learning words and decided it was time to study past words. We did this to make sure we have pronunciations and the words in general memorized. We face timed and looked over our quizlets to try to connect the words together and make sentences. We were also starting to use the sentences to form simple conversations. Some of the conversations consisted of week one words and phrases like "how are you", we were also working on replies like "good" and "bad". This conversation we formed looked like "jak sie masz" "dobrze" or "zty". A mnemonic we used to remember "bad" is it has the same number of letter as the word. If you have any questions or suggestions leave them in the comments or questions tab. Stay tuned too see the new words we decide to learn next week!
This past weekend we got to face time to study past words and learn some new words. Looking back on past words we have found that "z" is pronounced as "h" and "j" is pronounced as "y." Like in the word "school" the word is "szkola" but it is pronounced shkola and "loj" is pronounced loy. We were looking to find a Polish recipe to learn a part of their culture. A recipe we discovered is for pierogies. We are planning to hang out this weekend to be able to make the pierogies together. Aimee's mom has made these for us in the past, but we are going to have her help us out to make sure we are getting measurement's correct. When we make the pierogies, we will attach a picture to show how they turned out. Our Quizlet link for the week three words are linked below tune into next weeks blog!
We started off the week a little behind since Tiffany went on a Young life camp and could not hang out. We caught up by face timing to learn the words and how to pronounce them and using the Quizlet we made to study. We plan to hang out this weekend to go over past words and learn new words from Aimee's parents. This week words are for when we are going to learn the food culture and we can talk to her mom in the kitchen and have her perfect our pronunciation. This will be a good study tactic to remember how and when to use the words. Over the weekend we also plan to learn some new Polish culture like learning the recipes and how to prepare the Polish food. You can see the words we have learned this past week in the Quizlet link below. Tune in for next weeks blog to see what recipes and words we learn!
This was our first week of Genius Hour and we have already started learning our new words. We were together on Saturday and we were taught by Aimee's dad. For the first week we started out with simple words like "how are you" (jak się masz) and "good" (dobrze). At first we had some troubles with remembering and pronouncing the words. Eventually we got the hang of it using the study technique of waiting about 10 minutes then asking what the meanings of the words are or how the words are pronounced.
Tiffany will be going on a trip with Young Life and will not have any way to contact Aimee for 2 days so this could push back our schedule a bit. The way we plan to catch up is learning a couple extra words each night for the rest of the week by face timing and using Duolingo or Quizlet. Stay tuned to see some of the words we will learn next week. |
