Discovering Language Patterns

Day 8

Part of today's homework was to read aloud a book from the UNESCO digital library 

Global Digital Library

and try to identify words and patterns discussed in the first six lessons of the Language Transfer app.

I chose the book Aaloo-Maaloo-Kaaloo


It's a book about a boy (Maaloo) and his dog (Kaaloo) trying to help his grandmother (Dadi) find some potatoes. At least that's what I gathered from my reading comprehension plus the pictures. 

I found a couple of words (tomates, plantas) which share the same root in both English and Spanish. I also found a word that I think follows the patterns we've learned (excavando is a gerund, but excavation would be excavacion and to excavate would be excavar??) That's what I'm going with anyway 😊

My only question is who's Aaloo??

  1. Your Noh is great…good details, and you’re much better keeping on track of our assignments than I am!!
    Can you comment on my comment on here?
    That is what I cant do!!
    So, I’ll answer about my project here…
    You should be able to see the whole thing on FB even if you’re not on FB, but….
    Anyway, I took over a project in Granada, Nicaragua…started by a young Canadian from Vancouver…She had been supplying the students at 2 public schools with school supplies..
    I get donations, go to Granada, buy supplies , pack them up…with help, and hand a bag to each child….I was being helped by a Spanish School there, but now it’s gone under, so I’ll have to find a others to help me pack, etc!!

    1. Oh that's wonderful! I'm sure they must be so grateful. I can't imagine you would have trouble finding another school to help.
