Self-evaluation for learning plan

[Heather Schmitz]

In terms of our learning goals, Bethany and I did practice conversation with each other and with Aarti and I think we came out of the experience with a deeper friendship with Aarti. We had envisioned a larger amount of Bible verses to be learned that we did not get to, and we did not have time to put them all into a song - but I still want to do so, and Aarti and we will remain in touch to continue learning even after our evaluation. Some impediments to our learning were the fact that sometimes our meetings got cancelled when, for instance, Bethany had to go home, or Aarti had something unexpected come up, so at times we were behind schedule. I found our discussion of family very interesting  for example to say "I have two daughters" in Kannada is "For me, two daughters are," and this says a lot about how the view family as an extension of themselves. Overall I enjoyed the experience, and I hope to continue learning with Aarti!
