Language Partner Meeting #7
Goal for the semester: My goal for this semester is achieve the “elementary” level of Hindi, i.e. read, write, and speak.
Week: 10/22/12 – 10/28/12
Goal for the day: Review day
So far in the semester, I have learned a lot. I have learned how to read and write days of the week and numbers in Hindi. I have learned how to tell time. I know the words for food and clothing. As I have immersed myself more into Hindi, I have simultaneously uncovered a lot of about the Indian culture. This has helped answer many questions about my own Gujarati culture.
However, one question is yet to be answered. Will I be able to reach the goals I have set for myself? After being half way through this semester, I think my learning plan is extremely ambitious. I have set high goals for myself. So far, I have learned a lot but I still have much more to learn. According to my original plan, I should know how to read and write at an elementary level by the end of this semester. However, at this point, my vocabulary in Hindi is small and it will not allow me to read and write properly. At this point I my reevaluating my learning plan.
