Taught some elective pronunciation classes today. I is going okay with those. Though i am running out of ideas of what to do for pronunciation practice. Since, i have to be the one to do it at first, i don't really know if i could leave it up to one of the other kids to do an exercise to produce the difference yet. I could try, but then pair or small group might be best, maybe for a review session, but i guess i have to teach them all at once the initial differences.

Tomorrow is the Sports day for the kids. I just hope the ground isn't too wet. The had sponges and stuff trying to soak up the ground for the kids, so they wouldn't have to cancel it. Hopefully it should be fun.

I have started to learn Hindi more and more. The verbs seem to be really regularized, and like a bunch of the verb forms seem to use the verb "to be" in it. I hope the movie below shows up. Nothing like some good Hindi music to get your grove on to.


"Hindi," the setup of Devanagari(hindi writing system)is very exciting to me. The setup for the word itself is as this

h(a)+vowel marking for short i+nasal dot = "hin"
and then dental d(a) + vowel for long i=di
नमस्ते, मेर नाम एरिख हुं.




some comedy
