What's included
6 live meetings
3 in-class hoursHomework
1-2 hours per week. Students should be practicing at least 10-15 minutes per day and using the flash cards, songs, and other worksheets given in class to practice their Hindi. Homework is optional, but highly recommended for parents/other adults to practice the flashcards in a memory game or other game format with their learner. Activities done in class or given as homework should be reviewed as much as possible to help it "stick".Assessment
There will be informal assessments done at the beginning of each class, and during the last week of class a game-style assessment to understand how much Hindi each student has retained.Class Experience
This 30 minute class is designed as a continuation of Little Learners Intro to Hindi 2 or for students who have taken some Hindi previously! Learners aged 3-5 will love this introduction to the Hindi language! (Note that I also have a one hour class for 5-9 year olds, parents may choose a 30 or 60 minute format for their 5 year old depending on interest and attention level.) This class will be a fun and interactive way to experience the Hindi language. Printables and resources will be posted in the classroom at the beginning of each week. We will begin each class with an introduction, "Namaste, mera naam _____ hai," (Hello, my name is ____), basic greeting (Aap kaise hain? Mai accha/acchi hoon.) and a review of our previous week's topic. Then we will learn and practice with 3-4 new vocabulary words. Through games, activities, and songs/video clips we will build a solid foundation with our new vocabulary. Topics will be as follows but may change according to the levels and needs of learners in the class. Week 1: Articles of Clothes Learning basic words for clothes/shoes in Hindi and using them in a sentence. Example: "These are my shoes." Week 2: Fruits and Vegetables Continued Continuation of previously learned fruit and vegetable vocabulary coupled with the verb "to eat" (khana). Describing what they are eating and what foods they like to eat. Week 3: Drinks Learning new vocabulary about drinks with the verb "to drink" (pina) and using the word in a sentence. Week 4: Wild Animals Learning new vocabulary about wild animals (lion, bear, etc), and using the words with an adjective in a sentence. Week 5: Numbers Counting from 10-20 in Hindi and using number words in a sentence. Week 6: Foods Learning commonly eaten foods and using food and drink words in a sentence. "I am eating daal. I like chai."
