Brief Self-Evaluation

[Will Cragin]

Note: For a longer version see the e-mail I sent with my cultural project.After reviewing the videotype of my monologue with Chelsea, several thoughts pop up. First off, overall, I am fairly satisfied with how I sounded and with what I was able to say. I chose to speak in Farsi, rather than Dari, because I am still more comfortable with it. I felt as if I sounded somewhat fluent, but at the same time I am disappointed in how much I was able to say, and how quickly I could say things without having to think about them.One of my strengths is that I feel comfortable speaking the language, and do not get embarrassed if I mess up or forget something. This was key in learning Swahili, and I think will be helpful as I continue my pursuit of learning Farsi. I also thought this was reflected on the video, as I looked pretty comfortable and confidant.So, overall, I am happy with the way I sound, but would have liked to say more on a larger variety of topics in this video. Please see my longer self-evaluation for my thoughts on the course overall. ThanksWill
