How To Learn Hindi When Time Is Limited
It can be hard to figure out how to learn Hindi when your schedule is already full. Learning a language is labor-intensive. You can’t delegate it. You have to do it yourself. You just have to find a way to spend the time. And learning Hindi requires learning a new alphabet, too. Between work, family and other activities, it’s hard to find the time to fit your Hindi studies into your day. Although learning a language always takes a lot of time and work, there are ways to multi-task. Here are some tips for how to learn Hindi when you are too busy to learn a language.
Invest in an online Hindi course. Online self-study courses are a busy person’s dream. With no class schedules or deadlines, you can work at your own pace when your schedule permits. You can repeat a class. You can take the materials with you when you travel. You can do a class at midnight or 6:00 AM or Sunday afternoon if you want. The best online Hindi courses accommodate different learning styles, offering audio instruction, written instruction, interactive quizzes, vocabulary-building games and other creative learning techniques. The very best have “virtual teachers” through a members-only forum. They are far less expensive than a one-on-one tutor would be, and they are always there for you, whenever your schedule suits it. For a busy person, an online Hindi course is the best choice for how to learn Hindi.
Down with Lady Gaga; up with Hindi. Download the audio files from your Hindi course onto your MP3 player. Do a couple of lessons and some fun stuff, like songs or dialogs. That way, you can carry the course instruction with you. When you would otherwise listen to music, listen to your Hindi course instead. Study your Hindi lessons on the subway, in the laundromat, in the dentist’s waiting room, or anyplace else that you have a couple of minutes to spare.
Write your shopping list in Hindi. Do you write a daily list of things to do? How about a shopping list? Write it in Hindi. If you are just beginning, you can write the English word using the Devanagari alphabet. It’s a good way to practice Hindi writing. After you have enough vocabulary, you can write the lists in Hindi words. Practicing your Hindi vocabulary and writing skills while you are doing your daily tasks — now, that’s global multi-tasking.
Turn housework into homework. Sometimes learning a language simply requires some memorization. It may be boring and time-consuming, but spending the time to really learn your Hindi lessons pays off. So fit it in when you have something mindless to do. Loading the dishwasher? Practice your verb conjugations. Mopping the floor? Quiz yourself on genders. Vacuuming? Recite your dialogs to yourself. Out loud. No one will hear over the noise the vacuum makes. Mowing the lawn? Well, you get the idea.
Sometimes it’s the busiest people who want to learn a language. It’s people who travel for business or personal reasons. People who want to succeed in their careers badly enough to do what others can’t be bothered to do. People who are so intellectually curious that they want to learn everything. Have no fears. Busy people can find the time to learn a language, too. Just be creative and adaptable and you will find the time. The tips outlined above will help you find how to learn Hindi, even though you are so very, very busy.

What is the deal with the NFL special musical performances and the people who buy their advertising time?
I’m sure the reason why “Marley & Me” is sponsoring the NFL today is because they know a lot of people see the ads, but what football fan really wants to see this film? If anything they’re targeting families, but it leads me to wonder what the NFL is thinking when they have Jonas Brothers and Backstreet Boys and Shania Twain do their musical performances… Why is there such a disconnect there, doesn’t that seem a little wrong? Your average football fan doesn’t listen to that kind of music, yet that’s all they show. What is up with THAT?
