"My learning plan was completely different from what ended up happening. My only learning partner was the peer teacher I worked with through the Global Studio, one of my close friends, and we did not really think to speak in Hindi with one another…"

"One of the ways languages go extinct is when it becomes unsafe to speak them due to colonial violence, border patrol, and so forth. One of the most memorable parts of this class was when we watched the video of how many different shades of green (or…"

"I agree with what Josh said, and I also think it could be helpful to not just do both grammar study and real-world study, but to apply your grammar lessons to your engagement with media! For example, noticing and marking syntax or grammar as you…"

"What you said about substituting individual personal pronouns for collective pronouns is really interesting! We do this in Hindi when speaking more formally or with more respect towards ourselves ("hum"/we instead of "mein"/I). Is it a case of…"

"While I may not have found the correct diagram (the link to the reading was not working and I had to google because PDFs did not correspond), I think it is interesting to see the wheel of different disciplines that work with linguistics. I did not…"

"I grew up with Hindi, so even before researching it, I have always been a bit curious as to why the same things have so many different names in the same language. I have most commonly encountered this with the names of food dishes, such as fuschka…"

"I didn’t fully understand how we gain meaning, or more like what the significance of the different types of word relationships was. I will also reread that second text to make sure that I fully understand what a lexeme is, and if it is more…"
