My first artifact conversation was very basic but in terms of accent, cultural appropriateness and linguistic accuracy, it is done well. I had just learned how to say hi and bye the proper way (Given the cultural context) and how to introduce myself. It aligned with my goal for week 4 and 5 in some ways. The goal I had for week 4 and 5 was to be able to say basic greeting phrases. I also wanted to be able to write the alphabet down without having to look at a source. The alphabet is taking a lot more effort than I thought it would because it's just so hard to internalize the squiggly curvature that Urdu alphabets have. It just feels so foreign to me. I wasn't able to perfect the alphabet but I did really well with basic greetings:
Asalam alaikum (peace be upon yourself).
Wa alaikum usalam (peace be upon you too).
Ap ka nam kya hai (What is your name)
Mera nam daud hai (my name is david)
Mei korea se hun (i am from korea)
