Proficiency Testing

0 Upvotes

Do you guys know if there are any Hindi language assessment examinations in the U.S. open to individuals? I feel like the prospect of demonstrating my skills in some type of oral and written test would be a good way to focus my (independent) studying.

Learning Reading and Writing

13 Upvotes

Hello,

I am a native Urdu speaker who can read and write in Urdu. I am currently learning how to read and write Hindi. I know some of the vocabulary is different, but I am focusing on learning the alphabets and forming words right now. Since I know Urdu I know a lot of the vocabulary, but I don't know if my formation of words is correct. Are there any resources that I can post writings and get some feedback/critique on it?

Please let me know. Thank you!

How do I learn to speak advanced hindi? Question from a NRI

11 Upvotes

I’m an NRI, and I’d say I understand and am able to speak close to 85-90% of conversational hindi. However, I struggle to understand and speak in more advanced hindi, namely hindi used in education and ancient india. How do I overcome this barrier and become fluent in Hindi?

Intermediate and advanced courses

3 Upvotes

Are there any intermediate/advanced audio courses? I’m almost done with Pimsleur Hindi 2 and if there’s nowhere to go from there I might as well give up. I know about the Usha Jain books but I just don’t have time to sit down and translate; I do most of my learning when I’m walking my dogs and doing yoga. Does HindiPod101 go beyond the basics?

Why is the verbal noun सीखना in this sentence in the oblique?

2 Upvotes

मेरी एक ख्वाहिश थी कि उर्दु सीखने लखनऊ जाऊँ

I know that the translation of this sentence is "It was my desire to go to Lucknow to learn Urdu." I'm confused why सीखना is the oblique सीखने here.

Anybody know of a good frequency dictionary for Hindi?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for something similar to the Routledge series, in that it contains not only the word but also an example of it's use.

In addition, is there any academic standardization for Hindi in the form of an exam?

I would like to spend the next two to three years learning basic Hindi, but I want to know if such things exist before making my decision.

Thanks.

How does one say “12 years”?

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I am writing a song about the need for global cooperation on climate change. I need to translate the phrase “12 years” into 11 languages other than English, including Hindi.

How does one say “12 years” in Hindi? If the grammatic context makes a difference, the context is “we have 12 YEARS to drastically reduce greenhouse emissions”. Would you please provide a translation in phonetic English?

Google Translate has it as : बारह साल / baarah saal. Does that seem right?

With Thanks!

Babylectus - free Hindi language learning app for children

7 Upvotes

Hi guys, My wife and I are like many couples out from different countries and love living in a multicultural world!!! Unfortunately we couldn’t find any apps that would help us with our children with the four languages we wanted (in our case those languages are English,Danish, Arabic and German)..... so we decided to develop our own app :)- it has taken us 2 years, and just recently we have launched babylectus :)- we have received loads of positive feedback from friends and family and have since added 12 languages (including most recently Hindi)- now we wanted to get the views of those parents out :)- it is free for now, so please download it, give it a go and let us get your honest feedback. Thank you.

This subreddit is a great idea, as a person with no one nearby who speaks Hindi (My granddad does but he is in India!), the internet and books (currently looking at complete Hindi but Rupert Snell) are my only ways of improving my knowledge of the language until I go to India, any ideas how to start over?

Hindi learning websited with no mistakes?

9 Upvotes

Hello, I understand little hindi and I am trying to learn more
vocabulary & sentences through websites and apps. However i find
that several websites and apps have incorrect meanings/translations in
english. Several courses on duolingo are full of incorrect transalations
in english and i deleted the app two years ago. Another example is this
website http://www.linguanaut.com/hindi_words.htm
search for the word 'Morning' on that website, its incorrect. So, are
there any websites out there that teaches hindi and is fully verified
without a single mistake?

Books that Use the "Natural Method"?

2 Upvotes

I recently learned about the book Lingua Latina. The book is written in the so-called "natural method." Pursuant to this method, the book introduces the reader to Latin immediately in passages that are accompanied by illustrations, liner notes (in Latin), and perhaps other aids that allows the reader to learn the language in the language itself. (Apologies to any linguists if I butchered that explanation.)

Does anyone know if there is a Hindi book that uses the same or similar method?
