Oh my God!!! who are these guys speaking Hindi??? They’ve got such a thick dialectic accent. The standard hindi is Khari boli and these guys don’t have a very clear Hindi accent. Also, their diction is really bad. Shoonya or Sifar is correct word for zero. The lady says “bindu”, which means point or period.
The one with the Engish accent is doing good to promote Hindi but i think the Hindi that u r trying to teach is not the Hindi that is spoken colloquially. If you need some help, I may help you. I teach Hindi with the help of Urdu and English. In fact no can learn pure Hindi and manage to speak colloquial Hindi. The language that you are teaching finds place only in the classical books and literature. I teach Hindi to Arabs, Americans, French and Filipinos. This is definitely not the way one can learn Hindi. I could help you brother in order to make your course more effective and more current rather than making it just one of those courses that make the speaker sound more foreign than native speaker of Hindi.
