There will be a brief delay in getting our Hindi lessons to you. There are two reasons why. First off, I really want ISpeakHindi.com to have high quality lessons that you can be confident coming to. These are lessons that have a standard high level of quality and have been reviewed by multiple Hindi speakers and even someone that has taken advanced training in Hindi. I also want to build upon all the things we have learned in the last year. And to implement a lot of the ideas that I got from Dr. Rupert Snell. (I actually got a chance to meet him and interview Dr. Snell. ) You can also read the thoughts I have on how I plan to improve the program and the ideas for the lessons on our wiki. I would be most interested in getting your feedback on this plan. Feel free to email me at nathan@ISpeakHindi.com. Also, if you produce Hindi learning content and have or plan to have content related to the lessons I have listed there, then please send me information about it so I let our listeners know about it.
The second reason is that we have had some disruptions in our lives. Many of you may know that we live in Houston, Texas which in September got hit with Hurricane Ike. Our power was out for a week! Luckily we had already pre-recorded, uploaded, and scheduled all of September’s lessons ahead of time. Then after the hurricane, we had some other disruptions as well. My plan had been to get the new lessons prepared, reviewed, recorded, and uploaded before October. But that could not happen. I think I need about another 3 weeks.
Thank you very much for your support and help. We hope to get back on track soon.
Thank you Sara from Venezuela for putting this together. Sara has also been working with us to create a version of ISpeakHindi for Spanish speakers. We are planning to start publishing a Hindi word of the day for Spanish speakers starting on August 1. More about this later.
There are a large number of visitors to the site that are trying to learn Hindi, but their mother tongue is not English. A lot of these listeners are know Spanish as their first language. However, it seems there are not many resources available for Spanish speakers to learn Hindi.
We are working with one of our listeners, Sara, from Venezuela to produce a Hindi word of the day targeted at Spanish speakers. As we get better at working together, and get a process down, we will probably take the majority of the content and put it on the Spanish site as well. We are still working on what to call it, but for now it is at http://www.espanol.ispeakhindi.com/
Take a look and let us know what you think. And thank you Sara for helping us do this!

Have you heard of Sindhi? Or about a place called Sindh? Well, that is actually where Meena and Nariandas are from. And Sindhi is their first language. We are starting a site called ISpeakSindhi.com
The sessions will be a lot less frequent and much shorter. However, we want to go ahead and get started on it. So if you are someone you know is from Sindh, knows Sindhi, is interested in Sindhi, or plans to visit Sindh, you might want to tell them about ISpeakSindhi.com
