State your learning goals for this week and how you went about accomplishing these goals.
My learning goals for this week was watching a tv series in Bengali. I watched Bojhena Se Bojhena and it was a pretty difficult task because the show did not have subtitles. Although it was a challenge, I was able to understand the episodes by watching the first few episodes with my learning partner and discussing it. The show focuses on two characters: Paki and Aranya. Paki is a simple, traditional village girl and Aranya is a very arrogant, wealthy businessman. The first few episodes focus on character development of the two, but there is a lot of foreshadowing of their potential interaction and love for one another.
In addition to the TV series, I also watched another classic Bengali movie, Devdas. Devdas and Paro are childhood best friends and have been in love with one another since they were very young. However, because of status and wealth differences, Devdas’ family disallows him from marrying Paro.
