Hindi is the
national language of India and is spoken by almost half a
billion people in India and rest of the world. Hindi is the
second most spoken language in the world after Chinese. It

in India than English which is only spoken by around five
percent of the population. Hindi became the official language
of India on 26th January, 1965. Hindi is an Indo-European
language, of the Indo-Aryan subfamily. It derives much of its
formal and technical vocabulary from Sanskrit. |
|
With independence,
a common language had to be decided. The matter was put to
vote and Hindi won by a single vote. Hindi, however, was
only one of the many regional languages of India. Various
famous epics and plays were written in the Hindi like Ramacharitamanas, Bhagvad Gita
and the Mahabharata. Today, Hindi is widely spoken in almost
all the states of India, especially in the states in northern
and central India. Hindi is spoken exactly as it is written so
it is very easy to learn and read. Hindi is normally spoken
using a combination of 52 sounds, ten vowels and 40
consonants. There are 11 vowels and 36 consonants in Hindi. By
the knowledge of Hindi, you can easily know about Indian
culture, religion and current affairs.

Dear
Sanjeev
Thank you
for your email. I had a fairly good trip home, and have
been busy the last week 'catching up'!
I was
very pleased with the classes provided by Suman.
I was
planning on returning in October, but the weather for
November seems to be much better (and nearer to
February's weather), so I may return then instead.
Would you agree the weather is less hot then?
Regards
Namaste

The teacher is really nice and very experienced.
Looking forward to my next India experience.
Thanks so much

Lieber Sanjeev, liebe Suman, liebes Team von
Indovacations,
ich möchte mich noch einmal ganz herzlich für meinen
wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Jaipur bedanken! Meine
Ausflüge waren immer bestens organisiert, meine
Gastfamilie war einfach phantastisch und der Hindi-Kurs
sehr effektiv (ich lerne jetzt fleißig zuhause weiter und
stelle mir die üppigen Pflanzen der Pushpawali dabei vor...).
Besten Dank auch für die vielen Geschenke zu Diwali und
zum Abschied, für das unglaublich leckere Abschlußessen,
für alle beantworteten interkulturellen Fragen und für Rat
und Tat in allen Lebens- und Reiselagen...
Alles Gute Euch allen! Ich freue mich schon auf ein
Wiedersehen!
Viele Grüße aus Bamberg,
Nicole Grom

Namaste:-)
Dear Suman, dear Sanjeev,
now I finally find some minutes to
write you from Germany and to thank
you again for the wonderful time I
could spend in Jaipur.
Since I am back, university doesn’t
allow me to enjoy any freetime. But
anyway I enjoy my work. Right now we
already started the preparations of
my big fieldtrip and I am already
counting the days until I can leave
for Sri Lanka and India. It’s just
three month and three days;-) But
before there will be a lot to do...
But even beside my work, I found a
possibility to continue (at least a
bit) to learn Hindi here in
Heidelberg. I am attending two hours
per week a course that is called
“Hindi for Anthropologists”. Right
now it is just a repetition of the
things I learned in Jaipur, but at
least it helps me to keep things in
mind:-) Further, my colleagues from
India frequently check my knowledge
(and have a lot of fun when I make
some mistakes;-))
I should also greet you from my
professor. He was really happy, that
I got such excellent lessons during
my trip and he was even more
surprised, when I gave him your
present. He really likes the
pictures and they now have a special
place in his office. Same with the
beautiful picture you gave to me. It
got a special place in my living
room.
So, please say hello to everybody
(to Ria, Veena, Prem, Ruci, Adi...).
I miss all of you!!!
Take care & Hope to see you soon.
Best wishes,
Silke
(Uni. Heidelberg)

Subject: Greetings from Germany
Hallo Sanjeev,
Viele liebe Grüße aus
Deutschland! Ich hoffe Dir und deiner Familie geht
es gut.
Es tut mir wirklich sehr leid, dass ich mich nicht
mal früher gemeldet habe. Seit meiner (perfekt
organisierten) Indien Reise vor einem Jahr war ich
sehr beschäftigt und es ist sehr viel geschehen.
Nach meiner Rückkehr nach NY hatte ich eine sehr
erfolgreiche Fotoausstellung von meinen Indien
Bildern. Dann habe ich meine Diplomarbeit über Indiens
wirtschaftliche Entwicklung fertiggeschrieben und
habe im Juni meinen College Diplom bekommen. Seit
September wohne ich mit meiner Freundin in Berlin
und studiere/arbeite hier.
Auch wenn es schon ein Jahr her ist, muss ich mich
einfach noch einmal dafür bedanken wie perfekt
Indo Vacations die Reisen fuer mich und meine
Familie geplant hat. Selbst in den abgelegensten
Gegenden in Sikkim oder während dem Holi Fest in
Varanasi habe ich mich immer sicher und gut
beraten gefühlt!
Wenn Ihr Anfragen von potentiellen Kunden bekommt
und eine Empfehlung braucht kannst du gerne meine
Email weitergeben.
Ansonsten hoffe ich, dass es euch in Jaipur gut
geht und Ihr viele Kunden habt.
Ich vermisse vor allem das Drachensteigen in
Indien. Ich habe zwar viele Drachen und auch
Schnur nach Deutschland mitgenommen, aber hier
gibt es niemanden der mich zu einem Kampf
herausfordert :-)
Ich hoffe, dass ich vielleicht diesen Sommer
(August) mal wieder nach Indien komme, um wieder
zu Fotografieren und noch mehr Hindi zu lernen.
Aber ich habe noch keine genauen Pläne. Wenn es
soweit ist werde ich bestimmt wieder etwas über Indo
Vacations buchen.
Viele Grüße und
ich freue mich von Dir zu hören.
Tobias Leeger
