Summarize your work this semester, the progress you made and the difficulties you encountered.
I worked with my language partner, Atul, on improving my knowledge at Hindi. We worked on writing, reading and conversational Hindi through a variety of exercises. I found that my confidence with speaking the language increased significantly and I find myself stumbling/searching for words less. Through language worksheets and reading newspaper articles, I was also able to focus on my reading/written Hindi.
My biggest difficulty was probably overcoming the initial fear of speaking Hindi after having not spoken the language for many years. Atul was very helpful and encouraging throughout, which I'm grateful for. Our classes have been fun as well, since we varied up meeting places and sometimes even went for walks and talked in Hindi.
