In Hindi 2, we build upon the foundational language structures, topics, and cultural contexts that we began in Hindi 1. This course has a strong focus on describing actions and events in the past, present, and future. To do this, we learn essential verb forms and practice talking with our friends about past experiences, current activities, and future plans. Class time and course assignments are designed to be interactive and make use of audio-visual material and online tools. You will also start to explore special topics of interest related to Indian culture for course assignments. This entirely online class uses all the digital tools available to us to develop confidence in Hindi communication and interaction with Indian culture. At the end of this course, you will be able to talk with Hindi speakers about travelling in India, going out with friends, your hobbies, basic needs, and desires. With these skills at your disposal, you will quickly make friends with one of the half-billion Hindi speakers in the world, including many who live here in Australia. For ANU students, this course has a strong emphasis on in-person learning, with the additional participation of online students coming through Open Universities Australia (OUA). This makes our classroom highly interactive and diverse.
