Long time no see 久しぶりですね！

Well I finally found something I’d like to write about. Its a Podcast. for learning Hindi. And, why would I like to do that? Good question.

The other day at Namaste India, I met a Japanese female who spoke pretty fluent Hindi for some reason! Apparently she’s studied in India for one whole year. Considering the improvement in my Japanese skills over the first year, I’d say yes, speaking can be managed in that period of time. But where Hindi has a limited number of alphabets, Japanese has like a zillion kanjis! Not to forget the dialects, slang, the onomatopoeia, and so on. However I gotta admit, its never been a pain. Absolute fun learning the language. Thanks to Alex’s podcast, its been an amazing ride over the last three years.

Coming back to the point, after talking to this female, I felt like checking out if there were any Podcasts for that purpose. Among other textbook style podcasts was one titled ‘The Learn Hindi from Bollywood Movies Podcast’

Gave it a try, and the first phrase I learn, ‘Main iska khoon pi jaunga’ (I’ll drink his blood! )

Well, Its pretty common for 80’s bollywood movies to have situations where such things ‘need to be said’

Seems this guy, Arun Krishnan, has been podcasting weekly since 2006. Even if you are an Indian with MA in Hindi, I’m  very much sure you’ll enjoy this podcast….Unless you hate Bollywood Movies But who does ?? I wonder if theres an an episode covering the dialogues of Gunda

Anyway, you can find him on www.cuttingchai.com

He’s also started a new blog King Vikram and Betaal.

I’m attaching a sample here. I hope this isn’t illegal !?

Also wondering if posterous will actually manage to embed an Audio Player in my Blog. Lets see.
