This video is great ! I don't know hindi yet but I'll learn it after japanese, arabic, korean and bahasa indonesian. Are there some complicated rules when you have to put the letters together? (like in arabic)
This is wonderful man! I have just recently become interested in learning the Hindi language. I don't know much about it... tell me, why do all of these specific letters/characters end in the vowel sound "ah"? Also, how long would you say that it takes a foreigner that has had no previous experience in the language to become somewhat proficient in reading, writing and speaking it? Not necessarily "fluent", but able to comprehend about 70% of what is given to him/her. Thank you!
reply part1: The reason why these consonant characters end in "a" or "ah" is that it is difficult to pronounce an independent, pure consonant. And Devnagari characters have been not assigned any other names than what don't fully obviously stand for the characters . What sounds the characters represent are their names.
For a foreigner with no previous experience to be able to bring a new language into practice depends a lot on nothing else but practice. Just start using them.
reply part2: If you know one word of a language just be smart enough to make use of the first and every next context when that word can be used without annoying or boring your audience. Putting your knowledge more and more into practice is the best way to gain proficiency. But doing this before not (much)familiar or friendly people is to some extent difficult and uncomfortable experience for self-conscious individuals. It is for this reason that many tend to learn with learners;
I think your answer is partly true, but I would also have to add, in my experience as a foreigner learning Hindi, that someone has to start from the basics, I beieve also a native speaker can teach the basics but he has to change his perspective as a native speaker. After having some good basics a student can dare more with native speakers.
@tutonline U R quite write that ह was left out. The native speakers should learn to adjust themselves when they teach foreigners. Generally a native speaker who has learned or is learning a foreign language is could teach foreigners better.
@arandallbiz How fast you learn a language depends on many things, such as how much time you put into it, how good your resources and method of learning is, how easily you naturally pick up language etc...
@arandallbiz ...I am also trying to learn Hindi, I find watching Hindi movies really helps, because if you arn't sure about the context of words they can demonstrate where you would use them. Also just hearing the words used in a somewhat everyday manner can help you familiarise yourself with them. Good luck, friend :) xx
I am thankful to you for this video, I am really looking forward to future installments. Also, I'm hoping you could add a few example words to demonstrate more complex joined consonants such as स्त or ल्क. Thank you again. (I hope you will consider)
Thank you!!! That's great - exactly what I'd been looking for and couldn't find. Only one is missing: could you add the ह some time? (Possibly with the numerals...)
Welcome!!! And Yes, ह is missing inadvertently. I am so grateful to you for bringing this to my notice. I will sure include it in another video and I will also create one such video for numeral esp. for you. I am happy that my casually created video has at least one eager taker -- you. And I hope I will not make you wait for a long time.
