Here's Hindi!


It'll be interesting to see how I go with Hindi, having worked at a school in the Punjab. Admittedly, that was a quite while ago. Getting on to 40 years.

I didn't get beyond a nodding acquaintance with the Hindi alphabet. There was just too much interference from English, Punjabi and Urdu. I used that as an excuse not to learn it - something that I regret now.

But in any case, I figure that at 5%, I have a springboard. I've a foundation to build upon. I like the look of the letters, and I'll use them to build a vocabulary of common words. There ought to be some simple books on the Internet that I can use.
