Reflection 2.1

This week, I began speaking Tagalog. It was such an overwhelming process because I decided to tell my parents to speak to  me in purely tagalog. I think that it has made such a difference in my understanding of the language and have learned a lot of phrases. I actually am able to  understand most of what my parents say, it's emulating their language and their fluidity that I am still working on. Its made my home life very different, but I can see that I am well on my way to learning this new language. This week, I focused on numbers so that I will be able to tell time. There are subtle differences between counting in Ilongo and Tagalog, so what I worked on this week, with this children's app that I got, was the differences between the two. I am focusing on the main language Tagalog, and will later differentiate between the two when I fully am able to discern between the two. Overall, this has been a promising week in my 20% journey.
