Literal

(a) I, Nancy Atempa,affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
(b) I completed 30 hours of learning Frech with Milan Freeman, we used a book called learn Frech in 30 days by Berlitz. We did a couple of lessons on it and the exercises and learned new words along the way, many ways to say to arrive in present tense and things like that. We used youtube.com to find the alphabet, greetings, numbers, how to pronounce certain letters and words and rules of how the words are said.

Interpretive

I believe this represents 30 hours of work because we did our best to practice the language as much as we could. There were little sections of te book that had stories and we would hear the audio and then try to interpret what it was trying to say. Because there was two of us, we corrected each other and made things less stressfull. Well at least i can say it gave me confidence to want to learn the language more.

Applied

This component helped answer my first answer to my eq even further than what i had before which is pronunciation and writting. Pronunciation was something really though to do because we have already developed a language or two and knowing a another language later on is kind of difficult. Like one of my biggest difficulties when learning french was the letter 'r'. Since I know how to roll my r's, the r in french has to be kept down and let the back of the mouth say it for you. In writting, it was also hard becuse its another language and so it means different rules apply to it. one of my biggest problems was that i had to keep looking at the word or sentence i had to write so i wouldnt spell it wrong. Something that was really hard for both were the words. An example like Bonjour you can't say the last letter of the word and when you write it down its one of those things that you already know even when a letter is silent.
