supergirldq Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 My friend has studied Hindi from first grade and now he's confused if he needs to take Hindi at the HL or is SL okay? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrowhead Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 It doesn't matter - the choice is his.I've studied English since the first grade, nobody could've forced me to take English HL, I chose to.Besides, most IB schools in India don't even make the Hindi-speaking students take it at A1, or even A2. Most of my IB friends in India were studying Hindi B, which was a joke for the most part. Their average was a 6. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always do a self-taught language option, you know?Nup, our school doesnt allow that. Since it's always been compulsory to be learning a language since you start school, nearly everyone has a language B to learn (either Chinese, Indonesian, English or French) and you are expected to do that. If you havent studied a language before or don't wont to continue that language, you do Indonesian. Plus, our IB coordinator makes sure we choose something 'challenging' and suited to our level so for me, it's like nearly impossible to do anything else. Unfortunately, i've also been learning french for 7 years (and I still hate it) and so yeah. I've never learnt hindi or any of my other mother tongues at school either so teaching myself will be quite difficult Edited February 27, 2013 by cricketcrazynerd Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(9gag reference for those who don't know )I am taking Hindi SL, and am not very good with using fancy vocabulary or "shudh hindi". Our teacher has never taught IB hindi before and there is no Hindi Beginners option. Do you know anything that might help me improve, because I honestly feel like I am at the same stage as I was 2 years ago when it comes to writing, reading etc.We also don't have any past exam papers.. I downloaded some fom FreeExamPapers but they don't actually open up Now I am woried to think that the majority doing Hindi have studied it from a young age in India, and I havent. What do I do?

What do I do?Just coz you haven't learnt Hindi at school doesn't make you any much inferior than other people that have learnt Hindi since year 1. Yaar we NRIs (I think that's what we can call ourselves) are no less! Hindi is such a colloquial mix of Indian languages that it comes like a shock when you're expected to sound so shudh. I doubt anyone (ever my 75 year old nannu can write actual traditional hindi). Try watching old Hindi movies where they use really poorana zamana terms coz I guess that's probably what that shudh hindi is.Talk traditional at home and try to cut on the slang. I'm sure you can find the proper way to say certain words on the net.Read Indian literature- old books or something Read Indian newspapers that a written in Hindi (dainik Bahaskar is something I can think of)Listen to NDTV (i think that's in Hindi) yep listening to Indian news channels is always helpful coz they talk so traditionally On a lighter note, being such a cricket frantic (if you don't hate cricket too much) listening to 'hindi' cricket commentary really teaches you new words (I never knew gend was ball or what bhench*d was).
