Yesterday it was our friend Susanna's birthday and since she requested me to wish her a happy birthday in Hindi, I thought it was a nice idea to design a Hindi Happy Birthday card. 'Happy Birthday' in Hindi is जन्मदिन की बधाई (janamdin kii badhaaii).
We are glad to announce that hindi bolo! is now officially on Twitter, you can follow us to get updates on our activities and we are also offering a word of the day service to our followers, every new word will be featured by the audio file! You can find us on Twitter here.
Here is the latest video tutorial we have made for you. If you know the numbers up to 12 you can easily learn how to tell the time in Hindi. In the previous post we have revised the numbers in Hindi up to 10, if you don't know 11 and 12 they are ग्यारह and बारह .
This video will help you tell the hours as in '1 o'clock', '2 o'clock' etc. In our members area it will be possible to watch the second part of the video where all other options for telling the time are taught. The members area will feature a complete conversational Hindi course with exercises, dialogues, presentations, audio files, video tutorials and easy grammar worksheet, there i also a section about the script... it will be a great and fun source for self taught students and also teachers, especially online teachers who are looking for some new Hindi teaching material.
we have prepared for you some flashcards on Hindi numbers from 1 to 10, click on the image and you will reach the page. You can select 'study' and check all the numbers clicking on 'continue', later on you can decide to test yourself by clicking on 'study other side first'!
Hindi Bolo is going to become more complete by adding a members area soon, where people who are interested can subscribe to enter a full comprehensive course we are presently working on, stay tuned to know more about it. In the meantime, we still offer free or affordable group classes on different topics every now and then, you can check the upcoming ones here.
We have also some news about our podcast project soon, because we have a new collaboration in store, the podcast is going to be avaliable on this blog while the future subscribers of the members area will be able to have access to additional reference material on the topics of the podcast.
Everyone's invited to play with me in my free class hereKaun banega crorepati, the Hindi version of Who wants to be a millionaire. Questions will have an English translation and there will be prizes as well for those who will guess the highest number of answers!
Here is a presentation I made for you for learning Hindi greetings and basic expressions, after learning -for those who don't want to learn Devanagari there is always a transcription after the Hindi script, where underdotted m stands for nazalisation- you can practice all the expressions with audio examples in the video you find at the end of the presentation. You can select the full screen option at the right bottom of the presentation! Enjoy!
I'm preparing a new offer for students willing to take Hindi classes at a very affordable rate!
I'll teach a weekly online group class on the alphabet basics and pronunciation and conversational Hindi from the basics, everyone interested in partecipating to these lessons needs only to mail me at tutonlineit(at)yahoo.it with his/her interest and most convenient time and day for the lesson. Those who already know the alphabet well will only need to join when the conversational part of the course will start. Once we will reach the number of at least 2/4 people the first class will be fixed and it will be free, for the following classes you will only need to register and pay the small fee of 8$ each lesson! Stay tuned to check a sample of a lesson and other free interesting learning tools here on Hindi bolo!
