Learning journal week 2 - 110 Pravaas

[Pravaas Gurung]

Throughout my language learning process I have used mostly relied on in internet (besides my language partner) for information regarding Urdu and Pakistani culture. The websites (hamariweb, ijunoon, urduword) I posted on diigo have been very useful for my learning words and their meanings. Because they also have romanized Urdu translations, I have been able to learn words on my own despite not learning the Urdu script. On top of this, hamariweb gives several definitions of Urdu words, not just translations into English. This allows me to understand how certain Urdu words can be used in different contexts, and thus know which meaning is intended when watching Bollywood movies or listening to songs. I do not use my phone for anything more than texting, music and calling so mobile apps like mango languages are not particularly useful for me, but that is only because I rarely use my phone.
