Introduction To the Learn Hindi Daily Show
Today we are starting back with the learn Hindi daily show. A challenge for our daily program is that we have learners at all different levels. Some are just learning Hindi, others have been studying Hindi for years, and some just want a refresher. The format of this program is meant to have a little something for everyone. If you are just starting your Hindi studies, then just learn a letter or a word. Do not feel you need to learn everything. If you have been studying for a while, maybe the grammar exercises and some additional vocabulary is what you are looking for. And if there is something in particular you have questions about or you want us to cover, then post a comment on the site, and we will try to do so.

Special Thanks!!
The Master 4 Hindi Words a day tool has been a great success. Just take a look at the words mastered by the 100 top learners. Or take a look at the top 10 learners page. However, there have been reports that some of the 6,000 words that are in the system are too faint to hear or that there are other issues with background noises and words being chopped off. Going through these words was going to be a very big effort. I put a call out there to get some help, and between the contributions of several people, we were able to get all the words checked. I especially want to point out the contribution of Steve Taylor. He had created a program to download all the audio recordings, analyze them, and produce a report about which ones were too faint. He was able to do this with in minutes of putting out the request. Through the work of this gifted and generous individual, we were able to cut down the work by half. The remaining words were reviewed by listeners like Lemons and teachers like Suresh. And many others that were able to check a few handful of words. (You know who you are. Thank you!) And now we have identified which words need to be addressed. If you use the new Master 4 Words a Day tool, then you will only have words that passed the review.
That’s all for today. I hope you like the format of this show. We hope to do more like this on a regular basis.
