What is your interest in 'your' language and what do you hope to accomplish this semester?
Despite Hindi being my native language, I never appreciated the importance of mastering the language until I set foot in the United States for my undergraduate education. Friends from the subcontinent would communicate in Hindi/Urdu (which are both very similar, but have a different written script) while I'd feel under-confident about my skills at the language. I'd switch back to English often and I felt like I just wasn't able to communicate well with them. My interest in learning Hindi stems from wanting to bring back my confidence at speaking the language.
I hope to be able to attain a decent level of confidence while speaking the language and also to improve my written Hindi.
