Blogs #6 and #7

Last week we learned how to use 〜ても to form "even though" clauses in sentences.  Using it in conjunction with たら was very helpful in grasping how it can be used in real situations.  Doing the activity this week where we used ても and たら to discuss opinions was really fun and I think it got us seeing beyond the grammar as a structure so that we can see it as a tool to communicate real ideas.

This week, we learned ことにする to talk about things we plan to do and ことにしてる to describe long-tern resolutions.  We also discussed using まで to express things that will not occur until something else happens.  Since I think we all make these kinds of decisions, it was easy to apply it to our own lives and talk about them with each other.  All in all, I think the grammar is pretty clear and easy to catch on to, but it will be up to us as students to use it in practice to cement it in our minds.
