Yesterday in class we learned a lot of grammar: present tense, future tense, and possessive case. Expect my posts to be substantially shorter this week because I have to do my homework.
After class Farida and I went to the Nazrul Islam Institute to sign up for a conference they’re having on Friday. The CNG driver had some problems finding it, because it’s located in a normal residential area. We went upstairs to talk to the secretary. He knew some English, but mostly talked to Farida in Bangla. I was really proud of myself because I could follow what they were saying for the most part.
Farida’s language partner came to the Institute to meet us because she lives nearby. She then took us shopping at a mall that was not aimed toward bideshis at all, so the prices were really good. I bought a lot of jewelry and a really nice ready-made salwar kameez. They had good prices for material, too, but I didn’t see any that I liked. We also went to Jatra and I bought a bag. There was a deshi grocery store nearby, and we stopped in there as well. It had much better prices than Lavender does. By this time it was getting late and we needed to catch a CNG back to Baridhara to get there in time for dinner.
