Academic Goals

The course will teach the Hindi Alphabet, grammar, dialogue and reading, with vocabulary, grammatical explanations, and exercises. Each class will begin by going over the exercises from the previous lesson, thereby reviewing that lesson before proceeding with the next one.  

In addition to the material covered in the lessons, which will be passed out at each class meeting, there will be classroom conversation. The students will be expected to purchase the course materials. Each week, one student will make a presentation to the class. The class may take a Mid-Term around week six or seven, depending upon our progress.

While augmenting our lexicon all the while, we will be able to read, write and speak basic sentences in present, and past tenses. Handouts will facilitate all of the above mentioned. We will have a Final on the last class.

By the end of the semester, you can expect to have basic reading, writing, and speaking skills.

There will be a $25 late fee for course registration after classes begin.
