          20% Time Project Proposal

 

Name: Isaac Hemmes

Project Title: Learning Danish

Project Start Date: Nov. 7^th, 2014

Project Completion Date: May 15^th, 2015

Mentor’s Name: Dayna Browning, Stacia Hemmes

Brief Description: I’m going to be learning Danish and some basic Danish history/facts.

 

Overview of Project Proposal

 

1) Project Objective:

I think I will learn some Danish grammar and basic words, and along the way get some Danish history and trivia. Along the way I will quiz myself and check my progress. If I’m doing less then what I expect of myself, I will study at home. I don’t expect at all to be fluent by the 15^th of May, but I can hope to have an extremely simple Danish conversation.

 

2) Project Rationale:

I’m doing this project because I feel it is something I can enjoy, and something that is also important. My mom speaks fluent Danish, except for one word: Elbow. She doesn’t know how to say that in Danish. I’m not doing this just because my mom has lived in Denmark, either—I actually am a great part Danish.

 

3) Project Steps:

1. Learn.

2. Test.

3. Repeat.

 

4) Timeline of Activities:

 

November-December

Learn a few necessary words.

Example: excuse me, hungry, bathroom

 

January-April

Learn how to pronounce words and put them into a sentence correctly.

Example: Excuse me, I’m hungry. Where is the food?

 

May

Prepare to present results.

 

 

5) Available Human and Material Resources:

My mom.

Online classes.

Rosetta stone.

 

6) Possible Road Blocks:

I could become bored, unmotivated.

I might be unable to learn past a certain point.

 

7) Research Questions:

Who do I know that can speak Danish?

What are some good resources to learn Danish?

Will I ever go to Denmark?

How can I avoid going through all this haphazardly?
