According to the levels of competence chart, I'd assess my ability in Persian at the beginning of the semester as follows:
Interpretive
- Listening: Novice - Beginning 2
- Reading: Novice - Beginning 0
Interpersonal
- Speaking: Novice - Beginning 2
Presentational
- Speaking: Novice - Beginning 2
- Writing: Novice - Beginning 0
Clearly, my speaking ability is much better than my listening, reading, and writing skills. Over the course of the semester I plan on improving my abilities in those areas, so I can bring them up to par with my current speaking ability. Of course, I would like to also improve my speaking ability; specifically, my pronunciation.
