During Week 3, Bethany and I:
- Met Aarti for 2 hours and discussed greetings (both with and without respect), practiced forming sentences with words we knew, and learned vocabulary relating to family.
- Practiced certain phrases by saying them to our friends and each other (for example - "Neevu channda adeeree" - "You are beautiful.") until they felt natural to say.
- Learned about differences between individualistic and communal cultures, and how such practices as greeting with warmth and initiating conversations would be different in India than in America.
- Finished the first section of our learning plan.
