Learning Hindi
Namaste.
For the past few years I have been studying Hindi, so that I can understand the words to the many bhajans, devotional poems and so on that are written in Hindi, communicate with more of my fellow Hindus, further immerse myself in the culture and ways of living of Bharatavarsha, and help make an easier transition to studying Sanskrit in depth someday soon.
I am wondering...those of you who have learned Hindi (or any language as your second, third or so on,) what helped the most? Currently I am combining book work, listening to Hindi radio and TV stations, reading news articles in Hindi and having simple conversations with native speakers when I can. Anything else you'd recommend? Or do I just need to continue studying & practicing?
