Thank you for posting video links after each class. My daughter waits anxiously to record her part every week.

Note from Anshu: Anjali is talking about links like http://voicethread.com/share/2780542/ where my students record their answers each week from home.

My kids are really enjoying their classes with you. They feel they are learning a lot and are getting a lot more chances to speak Hindi. They also like that you do different things within a class to cover the subject.They particularly liked the game.

Thank you so much for providing this service. There are hardly any Hindi resources out there that are both accessible and of good quality. I’m very glad to have discovered your classes. Talk to you soon!

Thank you so much Anshu.

I really like the class and how you have it structured. I had bought Rosetta Stone a while back, but finding it difficult to follow and figure out the meaning of each word in a sentance. However, with your class and learning more structure I may find the program easier to use now.
My goal is to be fluent some day, but for right now I would just like to hold my own in a conversation. 🙂

Have a great day! ~ Tiffany

“Though only attended 1 class conducted by Anshu so far, Anshu’s professionalism is obvious immediately. > she tries her best to explain a topic in a maximally understandable way & easily graspable tempo; > she does her best to take care of each and every st. in the group; > she is continuously asking for sts’ feedback, thus perfectly monitoring whether or not the issue explained has been grasped and understood fully; > she is excellent at building a friendly and encouraging rapport with sts; > and last but no the least: she has fantastic organisational skills in terms of planning activities and timing – she knows perfectly well when to reply q-ns and when to shift them to a later time; the class was started and finished within the planned framework of time with an amazing precision: like in a bank!  THANK YOU, ANSHU!!! Am sure further classes will bring along more positive features to comment on 🙂 ”

“I enjoyed the class on several levels. For one thing I had never tried a learning session in this format before and found it quite viable as a way to organize and deliver an interactive group session. However I think beyond the technology being ready it required a particularly skilled instructor and Anshu handled the session beautifully. I have been trying to teach myself Hindi for years and yet I found the discussion engaging because I had never had some of the very basic concepts so clearly explained before. Some of it I knew but the structure seems like it will be very valuable. I do think there is a big drawback in using the transliteration although I realize that for this approach it is absolutely necessary. The interactive CD called Hindi Guru was ultimately useless to me because of that. My opinion is Devanagari simply doesn’t lend itself well to Romanization with ascii characters but I am open to the possibility that Anshu has solved that issue. “

Anjali is really enjoying classes. She and we were lost in the beginning since she won’t tell us what she is doing in the class but now after 4 months we find she is very enthusiasticabout learning and often asks us “Do you know what this is in Hindi because I do” The information you educate with kids for the festivals is also very interesting. THank you.

When I reflected on what I knew 8 weeks ago and what I have learned in class I was amazed.  I thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn to speak Hindi, even if it is just one word at a time or simple sentences.
