Week One: First Meeting
To recap, we met today and decided that we will begin Unit I this week. Instead of making any long-term goals at present, we will just hit the ground running and try our best to maintain consistency. We will start by doing the "drills" for Unit I privately. For the translation "exercises", we will post our own translations on this blog to see what differences we can notice. We will then discuss and compare our translations in person on Tuesday 1/28. We can post our translations by entering them as comments.
