SDLC 110: Summary Post #2 - Evaluation of first artifact

[Krystin Schwarze]

Well... this is embarrassing. I just went back and re-watched my first artifact post which was a video of myself demonstrating that I knew the proper why to greet someone, introduce myself, ask someone their name, count to 10, and list the days of the week. After recording the video and watching it before I submitted it, I remember thinking I had done a pretty decent job, but looking back I realized that in my short 2 minute video about Hindi "basics", I made at least 3 mistakes. The first mistake I made was in regards with asking someone "what is your name?" In the video, I said "App Kia naam hai"- which would translate to, "what is you name" Instead, I was supposed to say, "Appka nam kia hai". The second mistake I made, was with regard to asking "How are you" in a formal manner. I said "app kasi ho", when ho only goes with "tum" (the informal way of saying "you") Instead, the proper way to formally ask how someone is, is by asking "Aap kaise hai?" The third mistake I made was with the days of the week, I switched Friday and Saturday, Friday is "Shukrivar" and Saturday is "Shanivaar". The only comforting thing about re-watching my first artifact is that I am learning, because my mistakes were glaringly obvious to me!
