Hindi

Hey fellow adventurers! India has 22 official languages but Hindi is the most commonly spoken, and Hindi written in the Devanagari script is an official language of the Government of India (the other official language of the government is English). And because of that, we’re going to focus on Hindi today! Hindi is descended from Sanskrit and has been influenced by various other languages, including Persian, Arabic, Turkish, Portuguese, and English. It is the fourth most spoken language in the world (after Mandarin, Spanish, and English). Unlike the French blog, I have zero experience with Hindi so we’ll be learning this together! 😊 Now, on to learning the language!

I’m most likely going to start off every language blog with a video on pronunciation because I know that really helps when learning French. I can’t vouch for how accurate any of it is though because of my zero experience with Hindi but I’ll do my best. I watched multiple pronunciation videos and I liked YouTuber Anil Mahato the most. I’m only going to share one of his many videos about learning Hindi. If you’re interested in learning more about Hindi, I highly suggest checking out his YouTube channel. He has videos other than teaching Hindi that look fun to watch too.

This cool site has a list of everyday phrases translated from English to Hindi and it’s easy to follow:

And if you want to hear a new Hindi word every day, go to this awesome site: http://www.transparent.com/word-of-the-day/today/hindi.html

I talked about this last time but I’ll quickly mention it again: Duolingo. Duolingo is an awesome, free app that helps you learn a foreign language. And yes, it has Hindi! I checked! So, if you’re serious about learning Hindi or are just curious and want to learn a few words, check it out!

Fort those of you interested in Anil Mahato, you can check out more of his videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_e9DjRV9ZNMczOM6EqtV-Q

Until our next adventure!
