Report week 2

I have now uploaded my answers to the first assignment. We got 12 sentences where we should mark the different word classes, clauses elements and grammatical phrases. They are uploaded in a discussion forum and we are four people in each group. We should comment each others work which is good, you get new ideas and start thinking differently about some things.
Yesterday I used VoiceThread for the first time and did two short recordings for a fun assignment. We were supposed to talk a little about British and American stereotypes.
I have also started to study the cultural part of the course. I'm still waiting for my books so I have read some documents online and listened to an audio lecture, both about British culture.

The term has started

Yesterday, the spring-term started. I read in the grammarbook about word classes, clause elements, grammatical phrases, coordinators and subordinators. I try to understand the difference between things like nouns and verbs, adjectives and adverbs, subjects and objects. I have also listened to audio lectures on the book's website and read material published on the course page at the University's website.

Student account

I got an e-mail from the University that told me to create and activate a user identity for the schools IT system, so now I have done that. I have read the introduction and the chapter "What is grammar?" in the grammar book. I studied English grammar in 2009 and then I used the book "Engelsk universitetsgrammatik", the big difference between the two books are of course that the "new" one is written in English (but with a Swedish perspective).
