Self-Assessment:

I think I have met most, if not all of my goals. However, I am still a bit rough on asking for directions/getting around new places. I can greet people and talk about myself and my family. I found that using flashcards as well as sounding words out loud has helped me improve my vocabulary as well as pronunciation. In addition, listening to Bollywood songs and watching Bollywood movies has definitely reinforced my learning of certain vocabulary and phrases. Looking back on this semester, I have definitely completed all the tasks in my learning plan. However, I need to continue practicing these tasks as I have not retained ALL the information.
