September 23- October 4, 2013.
I continued reading the Protom Alo news article.It was an opinion article about how the young generation in Dhaka is changing in the new times and how older generations are unable to keep up with them. I was very pleased with myself on this reading because I successfully read part of a news article! As I continued reading, my pace increased and it felt good. I love that we were doing more readings because I felt my reading ability improve with each line and my confidence in being able to perfect my Bangla rose with it. There were also many conjuncts within the reading which helped me remember them in the long run.
I had another Bangla translation due on October 4. This one was set up differently from the last in that I had to identify the two letters that created the conjunct that was in the word. For example for shokti (power) it was k + t. I did better on this worksheet because I knew all of it.
This week we decided to have a culture day in cooking. We cooked daal a staple diet for Bangladeshis. Daal means lentils in English. I will explain how to cook daal in a culture post.
