In our meeting, my language partner introduced me to the new vocabulary related to articles of clothing. I was taught the pronunciation and repletion helped me in remembering the words.
During the “culture talk” period, my language partner and I discussed how people in different regions of India dress differently. We dwelled further into this topic by discussing what is acceptable attire our cultures: Gujarati culture versus the Bangalore culture. Saris are commonly worn in India. However, Guajarati saris are wore much differently than a southern style of wearing a sari.
