Learning a New Language Posted by Nitya on Mar 22, 2017 in Hindi Language
When I learn a new language, I am great at mastering grammar. Written and reading proficiency in a language comes easily to me. However I get tongue-tied and start scrambling for vocabulary when it’s time to speak. There is plenty of research out there that will point you to various approaches to learning a new language and almost all agree that opportunities for conversation are the best means of acquiring a new language or building on it.
A blog is a written medium, and as such untenable to spoken conversation. However, from time to time I will dig back into past blogs and toss together exercises and activities that will prompt you to jog your memory of past lessons.
Take a shot at the following exercises and post your responses in the comments section. Was it challenging? Too easy? Want more? It’s always great to hear feedback.

My grandmother is very sweet. She is clever and short-tempered/angry, too! She is not very fair or tall. She drinks a lot of hot tea. She loves to go to the market and buy expensive mangoes. She is 90 years old.
