learning journal (week of nov. 1st) example for my students

(sophomores) I was reading about the Turkish language the other day and I think i finally understand the suffixes dan and da, etc. I finally realized why the taxi driver told me to say sagdan instead of sagda. It didn't make sense until I had to use it.

(sophomores/freshmen 101B) I learned sagdan. I learned to say sagdan instead of sagda or solda. "Dan" as in soldan means to go away from something...da means to, for, at, etc. okulda would be an example. It means at school.

(sophomores/freshmen 101A/freshmen 101B) List of things i have learned in turkish this week:
soldan lutfen.
nerede?
memleket
taxi var mi?
corap
cilek
