Dear Liza,
With you living in Denmark and me trying to learn Danish, I thought I would put some effort into developing our vocabularies.
To get along in any language, you need to understand how the words go together, and your teachers will know more than I do about sentence structures and grammar. But I can help, too.
So, I am making an dictionary. I will learn words as I make it, and once it is done I can send it to you and it can help you develop your Danish vocabulary. As you can see, I am hunting pictures FIRST, and I will look up and write the words NEXT.
Pictures make everything easier to remember, so this is an illustrated dictionary. The pictures come from magazines and my collage box, and it is organized by TOPIC rather than ABCs.
For example, Numbers…..
Animals…….
Faces…
And like that.
For the book itself, Auntie Bridgett has let me have an old sketchbook that she doesn’t care for. Cousin Kestrel drew in it when she was little, so I am keeping her drawings so it will be more special. I will ask Auntie Bridgett to alter the cover a bit to say “More than 140 Danish words…”
With everyone’s help, we can meet this new challenge.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
