Hindi class and Indian Culture

Namaste friends ! These days I am teaching hindi to two students from Germany .these two students are students of Berlin University ,Germany.they are students of south asian study programme .

They came to know about me through internet.theirs name are Carolin and Shabina. however they know some  Hindi .Shabina could speak better than Carolin.

As they are here just for two week so they want to learn as much as possible.mostly we are talking during the class.during our conversation they are very much interested in knowing about Indian culture such as cremation rituals and its performance.they also wanted to know how a “”DOM”” ( a cast who cremate body at the ghats) is important for Hindus rituals.

They are learning two hours per day and in this class they are reading and translating story book.some time they are also doing exercise for practice

They need a certificate for showing in the university so that they may obtain credits.I will be writing the details of hours they learnt and their performance during the class
