This week in MLC 110 I accomplished the following:
-Writing: I wrote out 15 sentences utilizing the main interrogative words (who, what, where, when) -- have not studied "why" yet, as it is much more complex than the other four interrogatives. The sentences helped me gain a better sense of the word order that one uses when utilizing the question words, because at first the word order when using these interrogatives was quite confusing for me.
-Grammar: Memorized 7 post-positions (especially ka) -- and worked on Usha Jain's exercises in the "Introduction to Elementary Hindi Grammar" book for the "ka" postposition (of or belonging to me, you, we, he, she).
-Listening and reading: Completed all the activities and listened to all the lessons about "Kinship" on the Defense Language Institute (Foreign Language Center)'s website for Hindi as preparation for next week's focus on family life and hobbies. URL is available here: http://gloss.dliflc.edu/products/gloss/hnd_soc321/hnd_soc321_act1.html. This activity took me a very long time to complete because of the amount of Hindi reading that was involved, which I am still quite slow at accomplishing, since I am a beginner.
-Vocabulary: Most of my vocabulary that I learned this week was based on interrogative words and postpositions, since they are completely different from Punjabi. I studied the main interrogatives, yes/no indicators, and the postpositions.
