This past week I mostly followed my learning plan. I completed my goals for Duolingo and Mango lessons, and I wrote two essays totalling about 280 words. I also learned the construction for "I want/do you want?" and I can use it to ask for basic needs.
Originally I had planned to study both household/hospitality and transportation last week, but Abhi and I decided to study home vocabulary both meetings. After we reviewed pronunciation of the words, we practiced using them by role-playing a hotel guest scene. Home vocabulary (rooms, household items, kitchen items, cleaning supplies, etc.) is very important for me because I will be managing a household in India.
This coming week I plan to solidify the household vocabulary and practice them by writing another essay and a written dialogue. I plan to practice with both Abhi and Ashish (my fiance).
This coming week I also plan to complete another 3 topics in Duolingo and another chapter of Mango. I also plan to ask Abhi to write a short dictation exercise using the home vocabulary, to help me practice writing. For specific topic goals, I want to be able to do the following at the end of next week:
1. Ask for transportation (ie rickshaw)
2. Give/ask for directions
3. Clarify what time and place an event is
These goals are very relevant because I will need to travel places in India (like to my language school in New Delhi) and Hindi is helpful to speak with rickshaw drivers.
