second week's posting...

I found last night's class to be very helpful. I have studied and extinguished finding both morphemes and phonemes in several language assessments during previous semesters. However, the activity, reading and last night's lesson really helped me distinguish between the two. I used to have to refer back to text and other information to remind myself what each word actually meant. I am now aware and have a clear understanding of what both words mean and what finding or listing them in tells.
I was also surprised when the international phonemic alphabet was used in class. I see how it ties in, but find the letters and representations somewhat confusing at times. I used to have it memorized, but looks like it was stored in my short term memory. ha ha.
All and all I feel that class is going great and with only two class meetings behind me I find all that is covered in class helpful and a great refresher and reinforcer from previous semesters.
