Fifteen Hindi Lesson

hI had just fifteen Hindi lesson with dragons student and they learn quickly all the conjugation of the verbs. they learn imperative,oblique pronoun conjugation of the transitive and intransitive verb which seems difficult in leaning Hindi.in the begning students were very nervous about the learning hindi but as I started taking lesson they began to communicate in hindi  asking about the first experience about the city means ”apko banars kaisa laga”.every student began to progress and the same time they learnt how to read and write the script of Hindi which is very helpful for reading them sign and the marks on the wall while traveling .Before departure of Group to Bodhgaya I had taken hindi written test for those student who are for the credit they and score good marks .
