Reflect upon your progress to date, consider the effectiveness of your learning plan and activities, and discuss what changes--if any--you will make to finish the semester.
I think I have been doing pretty well progressing in my learning plan. At the beginning of my learning plan, I had great difficulties with speaking, but I have gotten a lot more comfortable with it. The most helpful thing in the process of becoming more comfortable with speaking is actually speaking with my learning partner. I have also begun speaking Bengali with both of my parents and family members. At first, I would get very nervous and embarrassed if I said something incorrectly, but I have learned to cope with my failures. I need to learn from my mistakes and see how I can progress and improve. Besides speaking in Bengali with family, the learning task that has helped me the most are the Bengali iPhone applications and watching Bengali movies. They have greatly helped with my communication, especially listening.
