This week Atul and I reviewed everything in preparation for the final assessment. We spent 90 minutes on Sunday reviewing and doing a practice test, with the majority of the time spent going very slowly through a Hindi YouTube video for kids. Understanding spoken Hindi is definitely more difficult for me than understanding written Hindi, so it was good practice.
The final assessment itself had three components. First was reading: I read a paragraph of Hindi text - it was a story about visiting a church and a temple, and then I briefly summarized (in English) what it said. Second was listening: I watched a minute of a Hindi kids' story read aloud on YouTube, and then I again summarized what I understood from it. Third was speaking: I responded to some basic questions about my daily life in Hindi.
