 I'm Kersuho. Welcome. Namaste. My name is Rick. I'm from London. I study Sanskrit. I'm learning Hindi because I go to India quite often. I am following a spiritual practice which is part of the ancient Indian philosophies. During the day I'm studying to be a paramedic. It's quite a contrast to come here in the evening but actually it's really lovely to kind of take a bit of time out and kind of use my brain for something different. I grew up in an area in northwest London, Wembley, where there's a big South Asian community and most of my friends are either Indian, Bangladeshi or Pakistani. Sort of India kind of feels like home when I go there. So I started learning Tamil about two years ago shortly after I met my partner. Language is like the door to his culture to keep it equal. I study Tamil and he studies German because German is my native language and what's been interesting to understand is Tamil grammar is actually quite similar to German grammar so you'd think I have an advantage but I don't feel it yet. I wanted to learn it because it's part of my culture and heritage and also when I was young my mother and aunt used to recite universes from the scriptures I didn't really know what they meant but they sounded lovely. It's the root of the Indo-European language and I think all the languages for example German, French, some of the roots are so common to it you would want to know that.
