My language goals for Dari are the following:
1. I want to listen to around 15 hours of Dari this semester. I will accomplish this by listening to music and or watching films. (I learned in Dr. Grove's ESL class that listening to a language even when you don't understand what is being said actually helps your acquisition.)
2. I want to learn the following vocab/sentences:
basic greetings
how to talk about my family
how to offer someone hospitality (food/drinks/etc)
articles of clothing
colors
some basic religious words
3. I want to learn about Persian culture from Angela =)
I think this will get me to a place where I have some foundation in Dari. I took this method of learning from my first year of learning Spanish and seeing what I actually could retain and understand. Spanish was easier than Dari, but I'm hoping that my learning will be aided by this method. =)
