Question:

I signed up for the language helping technique at “learn that language”. the language i m working on is hindi.. i can read and write it no problem but my main problem is writing correct sentences, past, present, future tenses and also knowing when to use masculine, feminine, or plural words because this all depends on the subject.. 

if you can tell me some memorization tips i would be extremely happy! i have been trying for 8 years and still i m not able to be fluent… please help!!!!

My Response:

Hi Pujana,

Thanks for the e-mail!

Firstly, if you have been studying Hindi for 8 years and haven’t made much progress, then that means it is probably time to change your strategy in learning Hindi. It’s probably time to try a new method towards reaching fluency. You probably also need to renew your commitment to learning Hindi and take it as a serious matter if you want to get to an advanced level.

That being said, it is definitely possible for you to reach an advanced level if you work at it. To be honest, the easiest way to learn about language learning is to pick up a copy of my ebook. In the book, I cover everything in detail and give you concrete steps to take to go from knowing nothing in the language to being able to speak it fluently. If you haven’t picked up your own copy of the ebook, go get it now!

I will however give you one tip now. If you are having trouble with writing sentences and differentiating between present, past, future, masculine, feminine forms, then I would highly recommend getting a native speaker to help you out. You can turn this into a fun activity. If you don’t have the chat program “Skype”, you can go download it now by going to www.skype.com — once you have downloaded it, you can use it to find native speakers of Hindi who are online and waiting to talk to people like you. Once you have searched and found a Hindi speaker to speak to, tell them that you are trying to learn their beautiful language and ask them to correct your past, present, future, masculine, feminine forms as you are chatting together.

So, not only will you have a fun, interesting conversation with a native speaker that will improve your language abilities but they will also correct your Hindi (improving your language abilities even more) and after the conversation is over, you can go back and look over your transcript to see all your errors and then practice those sentences repeatedly until you have learned them perfectly!

Not a bad strategy, eh? In any case, I have many, many other techniques and methods in my book that will help you out greatly so if you haven’t already gotten your own copy, go and get it now at: Learn That Language Now book — let me know if you have any other questions and I’ll try my best to answer them here! Thanks again.
