Patricia Om shanti came to Varanasi from Bunes Airs, the capital city of Argentina. She is the follower of Swami Ramanand who is a great saint of Kerala. As she came to Varanasi for pilgrimage, she is very keen to recite Bhajan and chanting Mantras. Therefore she was learning some Bhajan at Dashashwamedh ghat (main ghat) with a artist who used to sing for the daily evening Aarti in an organization of Babu Maharaj, President of Gangotri Seva Samiti. Babu Maharaj introduced me with her as she has motivation to learn Hindi. She has very less time just two and a half week so she opted for intensive crash course. She used to learn two hours everyday. As her mother tongue was Spanish but she did well in Hindi and could speak basic Hindi.

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 .
