It helps to name the small successes I've had in order to keep perspective. I wanted to share them with you.
I'm actually recognizing some Hindi and able to use context to interpret meaning.
I found my way to and from language school.
Made orders on the phone.
Been shopping for clothes, food, and a mobile.
Had a conversation with the house help. (in broken Hindi/English)
Gave a rickshaw driver directions to my flat.
Not too bad for the first week and being sick.
