Learning journal 8 - 105 Pravaas

[Pravaas Gurung]

I am not sure how many words I have learned, but I would guess somewhere around 40. However, my goals for this semester have not centered around memorizing lots of words because I already know some words that transfer over from Nepali. I have learned many words through conversation with my language partner and through the two cultural presentations. For the cultural presentations I learned words by talking with my Pakistani friends, several English-(romanized)Urdu translation/dictionary websites and in articles I used for my presentations. I have also picked up a few words from Bollywood movies, however I did not have much time to watch any movies this semester. I believe the goals I have are realistic because they include a lot of general words that are used often and in many types of situations (such as common verbs and prepositions).
