Language Partner Meeting #10
Goal for the semester: My goal for this semester is achieve the “elementary” level of Hindi, i.e. read, write, and speak.
Week: 11/12/12 – 11/18/12
Goal for the day: Read Short Stories
I picked a short story and I tried to read in Hindi. I was able to pick apart the letters and understand the words gradually. Overall, I had a hard time finishing the story I was reading.
So far in my meetings with my language partner, I have learned to recognize the vocabulary that we focus on weekly basis. However, when attempting to read, I had a hard time with understanding certain words. Since Hindi uses a different alphabet that made it even harder to understand using context.
This week I learned that I need to broaden my vocabulary further before I can properly understand an entire story in Hindi.
