My first artifact was an audio recording of me reciting a common conversation that I would have with someone on the street if I were to ask how to find the Taj Mahal. The "conversation" only consisted of my half of the dialogue, but I tried to include some possible answers to my questions by repeating what a stranger might say in response. Because this was our first artifact, I also tried to include a few things that I learned in past weeks, such as a short greeting because these phrases might be necessary in this context.
I believe I reached most of my goals for Weeks 4 and 5. I learned almost all of the questions that I listed in the first section of my goals and how they could be answered by a stranger, auto driver, etc. I also learned numbers 1-10 as well as some common numbers in 5's, 10's, and 100's that could be used for money and price.
The one part that I did not learn as well as I would have liked was the second part of my goals for Weeks 4 and 5, which involved describing a place that I would like to go. I hope to add this task to a later week if I have time. I also did not practice as much as I had hoped to these past two weeks, so I have scheduled specific times in my calendar that I will use to study my vocabulary and conversation skills. Hopefully this will help me focus more on Hindi during the weeks when I feel too busy with other work.
