Ethnography

I have decided to do my ethnography on the American Bosnian community here in Salt Lake.  I have a friend that is Bosnian, so he is my inlet to their community.  I plan to attend one of his families get togethers and also going to go to a Bosnian family owned restaurant and bar and interview various people.  I want to focus on their ability to learn English and how it differs for my own experiences, especially if my use of slang and such.

That sounds like a great ethnography. Checking out several Bosnian atmospheres will help you observe several aspects of Bosnian life. I interviewed a woman from Bosnia last year for a class and I loved learning about her life and her culture. I think this will be a good experience for you, I'm excited to see how your Ethnography turns out.
