Practicing Hindi after a couple months. Any help on the pronunciation or wording would be great. Dhanyavad! FB page: / polyglotpal 20 language video: • American Polyglot Prac...
Pronunciation and vocab are really impressive for the amount of time you've been working on Hindi. Really good job, man. One day I want to catch up with you on your number of languages. Keep it up.
Arnab Mitra I know basic Hindi, I have talked to many people in Hindi when I travelled many places in India, but still my English is better than Hindi.
True that. I thought it sounded more like Hindi with an Afghani (Pashto) accent probably because he knows Pashto as well. Such a shame that the Indian guy did not speak in Hindi with him when Tim was in New Delhi. Lost opportunity. Fantastic job and fluency by Tim. He is a genius. बढे चलो। Forge on.
As someone who has lived in India all my life, I can tell you that no Indian can learn to speak Hindi this fluently in just 4 months. You are a next level genius, Tim!
I am a fluent hindi speaker, yet even I woudn't normally use the words like 'abhiyas' and use the word 'practice' itself. Kudos to your learning ability.
You've pretty much cracked it in terms of grammar and such, pronunciation is understandable but could use a little tweaking, it's sounds like you have a dialect/accent when speaking. I speak an uncommon dialect which has lots of Hinglish, and roots from other languages, so my "subh" Hindi isn't that good. You might have me beat there with the vocab. I'm so jealous you speak so many languages haha :) Keep up the good work
It's mostly the "h"s and "t"s, and "th"s that sound a bit off. Including the "bh" etc. I have a question for you though: I've always had an interest in learning languages, and my French teacher said I was pretty talented. I wasn't able to pick up French at a higher level because the school didn't offer it, but the point is: when I switch between Hindi and English, it's pretty much unnoticeable, do you have this when you do with your stronger languages such as Hebrew, and Arabic and whatnot?
Your hindi is very well ...as compared to foreigners trying to grasp its pronunciations... Learn Marathi language some day! Its an indian language with devnagri script!! :) hope you do well.
Good job learning hindi. There is a grammatical error in the title of the video. The title transliterates to - "tim hindi bolthe hai" although the correct syntax would be - "tim hindi boltha hai", Since the word - "bolthe" is usually used in the plural sense.
Don't stress on the 'H' too much - and tha is slightly different from ta. do-teen(2-3) the do is meant to sound a lot like the french deux. Like a "t h" in the(the english article) main farsi BHI bol sakta hoon (I speak farsi also) - "main bhi farsi bol sakta hoon" means i too speak farsi.
I'm a Bengalee. And I can confidently say you speak Hindi better than most of the Bengalees ( excluding me and other young generation Bengalees ). Well you did a really amazing work ! Hope you shall also speak Bengali in a few days.
Once you can speak hindi, you'll find it easy to learn about 10-15 Indian languages as they are pretty similar... I haven't studied or learnt any of them but I can make out their meaning
Your Hindi is absolutely good mate. Even good from many city dudes and girls here who always speak English !! But the enjoyment you get while speaking Hindi slangs you can't get that in English. Make it more better you are going good (y)
arakkal abu Sure. But some of it is slightly different in daily spoken pronunciation. Some loan words in day to day speaking are more 'Indian' sounding. Regardless, your Hindi is great
Modern Standard Hindi is Sanskritized Urdu with a liberal splashing of Tatsama loanwords.Thats why Common/Casual Hindi is closer to Urdu rather than Sanskrit.
Mujhe aapki Hindi bohat acchi lagi, aur aanand mila mujhe aapki Hindi sun kar. ye video aapne takriban 3 saal pehle daali thi TH-cam par, to tab se aapki Hindi acchi hui, aur aapne aur shabd seekhe? Aur uss ke baad aap Hindustan gaye? Agar mujhe koi salaa deni bhi ho aapko, to wo yeh hogi ki aap sentence jodhne pe zyada dhyan do, kam se kam iss video ke anusar. Dhanyavad hamari khubsurat bhasha seekhne ko chunne ke liye, Hitesh. Mujhe umeed hai ki aapko ye saara samajh me aa gya hoga. :) PS: Mohammad Rafi Kishore Kumar se acche hain. Kabhi unhe bhi sunna :)
just practice how to pronounce थ as in sath. these are the most difficult to pronounce त थ द ध. like I still don't know ho to properly say thanks it is neither त nor थ
Hitesh Saini वह थैंक्स हि होता है। मतलब थ ही है उसमें। अगर हिंदी में thanks को लिखना हो। जो अंग्रेजी का शब्द हे ,जैसे "मोबाइल फोन" इसका अगर हिंदी में अनुवाद किया जाए तो होगा - दूरभाष यंत्र, इसलिए इसे mobile कहना ही सही होगा , क्योंकि यह शब्द अंग्रेजी आधारित हे, परंतु जिन्हें हम हिंदी में बोल सकते है उन्हें हिंदी में हि बोले हम, एक कोशिश के तहत। thanks-आपका आभार।
TIM- If you are reading this, Please learn the language TAMIL. It is one of the oldest living languages in the world. The grammar is very tough but it is such a beautiful language. Please do some research about TAMIL, you will get to know. Thanks.
cool dude it'll be hard for him to learn though. Like he said, he learnt Hindi easily because of the Farsi loan words, but Tamil is entirely different.
you are sooo adorable:** your inquisitive nature to learn different kinds of languages is whats the most beautiful thing about you and especially when you mentioned that hindi language is very nice reflects of the personality you are extremely proud of u :-) Good luck buddy :-):-)
Boy, your Hindi is better than mine-- and I'm a native tongue! You're fantastic. Keep it up! Itni sundar Hindi maine ek gora ko bol teve khabi nahin suni. Bauhaut khoobsurat.
hindi is a lot influenced by Sanskrit, and I think your limitations to learning actual devnagri will be a limitation of you grasping the sanskrit aspect of hindi. Now your pretty good in the commonality between hindi and urdu
I am albanian and I'm able to understand and speak hindi. Even if it's not fluently I'm very proud. I don't know how I've learned it because I was never expecting to do so but I think that hindi movies or serials have really helped me. I basically learned it only in that way. It's amazing to know that you can understand people in a language that has nothing to do with your nationality at all.
I had begun to learn Serbian two years ago. I am sure gonna catch up now. Erstwhile Yugoslavia and present India have many similarities . I hope one day I could read "The bridge over Drina" in its original language of publication.
Awesome and mubarak!! Bahut khoob! Aur thoda riyaz (practice) karoge tho aapki Hindi perfect ho jayegi. Aaap ko hamari taraf se bahut bahut shubh-kamnaye! Jackson, Mississippi.
You gave me motivation to learn Korean! Youve learnt how to hold a conversation in Hindi in 5-6 months while I've been learning Arabic since the first grade and can't speak a sentence ;(
Hi Tim - great to hear u speak Hindi - your vocabulary and speed is just impeccable - however just an advise - the word 'chalu' can be substituted by the word 'shuru' - 'chalu' is a more of a colloquial word - well done!
তোমার যদি আসলেই ভাষা শিখতে এতো ভালো লাগে তাহলে আমি চাইলে তোমাকে বাংলা শেখাতে পারি। বাংলা ভাষাভাষি জনসংখ্যার দিক দিয়ে পৃথিবীতে সপ্তম। কিন্তু এটা শেখার জন্য প্রয়োজনীয় উপকরন ইন্টারনেটে সহজলভ্য না। কাজেই তোমার যদি এটা শেখার ইচ্ছে থাকে, আমার সাথে যোগাযোগ কর।
Just splendid dude. I would like to point out that your Hindi is much better than that of Sonia Gandhi’s, Katrina Kaif’s, Jaquelene Fernandiz’s (heck honesty idc if i spelt that wrong) ps : u r going great guns doing, keep that going
The reason why alot of Indians mix English with Hindi is beacuse alot of us dont know proper Hindi because we have so many languages in India. Every State has a different language and villages have different dialects. I can actually also say I am a polygot if I count all the Indian languages I speak here. :)
Amazing fluency after 6 months work. I am an urdu native speaker I can understand Hindhi too. How did you structure your language studies for your hindhi? how many hours did you spend on watching movies and reading newspapers in Urdu? What was your typical day like? I am impressed. Good job!
I've read that Swedish and Norwegian use retroflex consonants as well. As for Desis using them in English, it's just the way they're used to speaking, I mean, if I was to try speaking in French, I may not pronounce things properly,and a native speaker would probably be able to notice my non-French accent.
your hindi vocab and grammar is correct but your pronunciation needs a lot of work. you sound very much like a white person, which you are so it's ok, but if you want to speak like a native than i would suggest trying to imitate indian hindi speakers- even if they speak 'hinglish'
Riya Matta he s ounds like a white person because Hindi is not his native tongue,he has not lived in India ,and he is white....😒😒😒😒.Until now, i have not known people from India who speak Spanish like me.😬😬😬😬😬.You cant pretend him to speak like a native ,because HE IS NOT FROM YOUR COUNTRY 😒😒😒😒😒
You know colonialism really screwed you over, when you have your Hinglish called out by a teenager in New York lmao (You did so well Tim! It's hard to believe that this is after just a few months effort!)
Hi Tim. Your Hindi is good. I really appreciate and commend your passion. You should consider changing the title to टिम हिंदी बोलता है. You will say टिम हिंदी बोलतें हैं when you are referring to the concerned person with respect. Also, please note that there is a difference between बोलते है and बोलतें हैं, in pronunciation, the latter sounding from your nose. In fact, you always use हैं (and not है) when referring to a person with respect. Once again, I would like to congratulate you in pursuing such a unique passion.
You speak very well but it sounds like you're struggling hard when you express words Besides that, you're pretty good... lol you should teach Jaby Koay
Tim, what you do is sheer genius. Some imitated pronunciations : "Khoobsoorat" (khoob-soo-ratt) "Yaad" : yād (jaa-d) "Ekdam" : ek- damm (the way you say mum) "Dost" : d-oh-st I hope that helped. Continue what you're doing. Love from India! :)
*why does he sound like an arab?* haha the pronunciation is not that good. we don't roll our 'r' sounds.. like they do in Spanish/Italian/Portuguese etc.
Hello ,Tim. Can you share some of your tips or any practices that your did to pick up with one of the languages that you learn ? I mean for just one particular foreign language , what do you practice, any material you keep doing to be able speak it in just short period of time. I am so appreciate if you read and reply this.
Im a Turkish, lived 9 years in India, but you speak better than me. since i didnot make any efforts for learning, i learned 'hinglish' or hindi spoken in the streets naturally. But i can make my hindi perfect in a month if i study :). anyways your hindi is great, considering many indians dont even know hindi
Baht khubsurat! Aapki Hindi toh baht se bhartio se kaafi behtar hai. Yeh video kaafi purana ho chuka hai ab but mujhe ummeed hai ki aapki Hindi aur bhi umda ho gayi hogi. Sarahniye!
Salaam Kaifa haluka ? Ana Taufiq. I am inspired by you one month ago Now i am learning Arabic. Your Hindi is much better than my English, brother give me some tips for Arabic, and brother you knows about 20 languages Its very impressive. good luck for your future. your hindi is very impressive.
That's really impressive Tim learning forigen language in such a short period of time it's extraordinary you have really good command on the language keep it up buddy
टिम, हार्दिक अभिनंदन ! तुम्हारा हिन्दी सिखने का प्रयास प्रशंसनीय है । तुम जो हिन्दी बोलते हो वह हिन्दी न हो कर हिन्दुस्थानी बोली है । तुम फार्सी जानते हो इससे तुम्हें ज्ञात होता होगा की तुम्हारे वाक्यों में फार्सी शब्द बहुत प्रयोग होता हैं जो अब उर्दु भाषा में प्रचलित हुए हैं । पुर्णरूप से हिन्दी सुनने के लिए मैं तुम्हें "चाणक्य", "महाभारत" यह दो दूरदर्शन मालीकाएँ देखने का सूझाव देना चाहता हूँ । मनःपूर्वक शुभेच्छा ।
As English is your native language, your Hindi is fine, but it is not fluent. While speaking you hesitate a lot. It is Understandable to the listener, Try to speak more articulately. Keep working hard on your Hindi. Good luck.
टिम हिन्दी बोलता है / टिम हिन्दी बोलते हैं your vocabulary and grammar are great, your pronunciation can improve, try to use less retroflex sounds. मेहनत करते रहो, तुम बहुत कुशल हो
Todays Indian use lots of English words in their conversation so its not solid Hindi. You said अभ्यास for practice- wow. Indians have almost forgotten this word.
aap acche bolne lage hindi,kuch hi dinon me saaf hindi bolne lagenge. but Im surprised why you didn't learn bangla(bengali). bangla is 5th largest speaking language, hope u will definitely inspire, thanx
better than Katrina Kaif
LMAO!
lol dude
hahahahahaha
and Bappi Lehri too.. ;)
priyadarshan maity truee
You speak Hindi like an Iranian :) But that's okay, considering the fact that I understood you perfectly well :)
That's because he learned Farsi and pashto before Hindi 🥴
He speaks like an Afghan , Iranian accent in Hindi is funny omg don't even ask me 😂😂😂😂
Pronunciation and vocab are really impressive for the amount of time you've been working on Hindi. Really good job, man. One day I want to catch up with you on your number of languages. Keep it up.
Hey Ford...looks like the germ of an idea for another collaboration for you!
You?? Here? :O hello
It's not about how many one can speak, but how well and how useful it is in everyday life.
I am an Indian, I am Bengali, but I speak Hindi. But you speak better than me man. Bravo : )
FrostBite05 try to learn Hindi soon and I am a Bengali too!!!
Yes I will dada, actually I'm improving my English, then I'll do Hindi
Hindi is our national language so first try to learn hindi then english!!!
Arnab Mitra I know basic Hindi, I have talked to many people in Hindi when I travelled many places in India, but still my English is better than Hindi.
@@arnabmitra4348 Hindi is not our national language..... India has no national language
You speak Hindi with an Afghan accent. I guess that's cause you learned Farsi first, and the accent from that bled into your Hindi. Great job BTW!
hahahaha
True that. I thought it sounded more like Hindi with an Afghani (Pashto) accent probably because he knows Pashto as well. Such a shame that the Indian guy did not speak in Hindi with him when Tim was in New Delhi. Lost opportunity. Fantastic job and fluency by Tim. He is a genius. बढे चलो। Forge on.
also apparently when he speaks hebrew he has a french accent
You actually speak better Hindi than me. And I'm Indian
Your hindi is better than mine, I bet.
Yeah right. Because my mother tongue isn't Hindi. it's Bengali. Let me hear you speak that.
you must live somewhere where Hindi is used all the time. Not where I stay. And most Bengalis are bad at Hindi. Nothing shameful about that :)
My mother tongue is a body part.
007Anukul yes, let us better not come into that discussion. ;-)
Strange you have afghani accent. Hows that so?
That is because he speaks Farsi too quite well>> and Farsi otherwise known as Dari is one of the two main languages of Afghanistan
He taught himself Farsi in his mid teens and is fluent at it; which is spoken by most Afghanis.
He is lowkey Afghan lol
He is persian
@@ctynwbraygalm
He is an american who can speak 20+ languages. Watch the beginning of the video again where he introduces himself.
his voice changes with the language for sure
Still better than Sonia Gandhi... :)
Dhruv Desai correct
hahahaha
Indeed...
As someone who has lived in India all my life, I can tell you that no Indian can learn to speak Hindi this fluently in just 4 months. You are a next level genius, Tim!
Your hindi isn't perfect, but heck you're way too good!!! 5 months and you're this good?? Amazing!! You must be perfect by now.
Spoke better hindi than 90 % indians.
How do you know? Do you speak Hindi or ever spoken it?
Maybe that's because more than 90% of Indians can't speak Hindi.
+Mayank Mamgaain
Obviously he means that most of those Indians that speak Hindi speak simplistic and have poor choice of words.
+Gold Logic What Mayank means is that Hindi is only spoken in big cities and northern states.
Gursimran Padda Yes, that's exactly what I meant.
Tumhari hindi bahut achhi hai :)

You've pretty much cracked it in terms of grammar and such, pronunciation is understandable but could use a little tweaking, it's sounds like you have a dialect/accent when speaking. I speak an uncommon dialect which has lots of Hinglish, and roots from other languages, so my "subh" Hindi isn't that good. You might have me beat there with the vocab. I'm so jealous you speak so many languages haha :)
Keep up the good work
It's mostly the "h"s and "t"s, and "th"s that sound a bit off. Including the "bh" etc.
I have a question for you though: I've always had an interest in learning languages, and my French teacher said I was pretty talented.

Hello, my fellow Maratha brethren.
Good job learning hindi. There is a grammatical error in the title of the video. The title transliterates to - "tim hindi bolthe hai" although the correct syntax would be - "tim hindi boltha hai", Since the word - "bolthe" is usually used in the plural sense.
isn't it used for giving respect?
Yes, it is also used for giving respect, however there will be an anunasik sybol on hain

Your Hindi is absolutely good mate. Even good from many city dudes and girls here who always speak English !! But the enjoyment you get while speaking Hindi slangs you can't get that in English. Make it more better you are going good (y)
You get a bit of farsi influence in the pronunciation but its still awesome
well all those words were originated fem farsi only
arakkal abu Sure. But some of it is slightly different in daily spoken pronunciation. Some loan words in day to day speaking are more 'Indian' sounding. Regardless, your Hindi is great
arakkal abu pure hindi is actually derived from sanskrit, not farsi. Hindi, as it is spoken in India today, is a mix of sanskrit and urdu

कृपया मेरे लिए एक comment छोड़ दीजिये । he also used hinglish at the last.
Well done boy .. u speaks well , I like your dedication for Hindi language 😊
1:39, you should have said that "mai farsi bhi bol sakta" hoon instead of "mai bhi farsi bol sakta hoon"
आप की हिंदी बहुत अच्छी । कैवल उच्चारण पर और अभियास की आवश्यकता है
He is speaking fluently probably better than many Tamil people #no offence
Tumhari hindi bahot achhi hai. Tumhara TED video abhi maine dekha. Aur mujhe voh bhi bahot achha laga. Prerna mili tumse aaj, koi nayee bhasha seekhneki. Tumhe shubh kamanayein.
Be honest...who all were Searching "Abhiveer" in the comments after he said 'hii' to him....
Pretty damn good! Impressed and glad that you like the language. Sadly, very few foreigners try to learn this language. So...good job!
You know colonialism really screwed you over, when you have your Hinglish called out by a teenager in New York lmao (You did so well Tim! It's hard to believe that this is after just a few months effort!)
Sahi kaha
Hi Tim. Your Hindi is good. I really appreciate and commend your passion. You should consider changing the title to टिम हिंदी बोलता है. You will say टिम हिंदी बोलतें हैं when you are referring to the concerned person with respect. Also, please note that there is a difference between बोलते है and बोलतें हैं, in pronunciation, the latter sounding from your nose. In fact, you always use हैं (and not है) when referring to a person with respect. Once again, I would like to congratulate you in pursuing such a unique passion.
Namaste means i bow to you btw
You speak very well but it sounds like you're struggling hard when you express words
Besides that, you're pretty good... lol you should teach Jaby Koay
Tim, what you do is sheer genius.
Some imitated pronunciations :
"Khoobsoorat" (khoob-soo-ratt)
"Yaad" : yād (jaa-d)
"Ekdam" : ek- damm (the way you say mum)
"Dost" : d-oh-st
I hope that helped. Continue what you're doing. Love from India! :)
*why does he sound like an arab?*
haha the pronunciation is not that good.
we don't roll our 'r' sounds.. like they do in Spanish/Italian/Portuguese etc.
Lol ikr
You speak really well.. "ତୁମେ ମୋ ମାତୃଭାଷା 'ଓଡିଆ' ଶିଖିବ କି ? (Would you learn my mother-tongue 'Odia')? "
Hello ,Tim.
Can you share some of your tips or any practices that your did to pick up with one of the languages that you learn ? I mean for just one particular foreign language , what do you practice, any material you keep doing to be able speak it in just short period of time. I am so appreciate if you read and reply this.
Im a Turkish, lived 9 years in India, but you speak better than me. since i didnot make any efforts for learning, i learned 'hinglish' or hindi spoken in the streets naturally. But i can make my hindi perfect in a month if i study :). anyways your hindi is great, considering many indians dont even know hindi
Baht khubsurat! Aapki Hindi toh baht se bhartio se kaafi behtar hai. Yeh video kaafi purana ho chuka hai ab but mujhe ummeed hai ki aapki Hindi aur bhi umda ho gayi hogi. Sarahniye!
Where u from?
Salaam
Kaifa haluka ?
Ana Taufiq.
I am inspired by you one month ago Now i am learning Arabic.
Your Hindi is much better than my English, brother give me some tips for Arabic,
and brother you knows about 20 languages Its very impressive.
good luck for your future.
your hindi is very impressive.
Hey tim :)
Try not to speak it like Arabic and maybe try not to stress on each word
That's really impressive Tim learning forigen language in such a short period of time it's extraordinary you have really good command on the language keep it up buddy
DAMN!!! MAN You are impressive!!
Hats off!!
perhaps your access more or less close to Urdu, however very fluent and cohesive!!
Keep it up!
टिम, हार्दिक अभिनंदन ! तुम्हारा हिन्दी सिखने का प्रयास प्रशंसनीय है । तुम जो हिन्दी बोलते हो वह हिन्दी न हो कर हिन्दुस्थानी बोली है । तुम फार्सी जानते हो इससे तुम्हें ज्ञात होता होगा की तुम्हारे वाक्यों में फार्सी शब्द बहुत प्रयोग होता हैं जो अब उर्दु भाषा में प्रचलित हुए हैं । पुर्णरूप से हिन्दी सुनने के लिए मैं तुम्हें "चाणक्य", "महाभारत" यह दो दूरदर्शन मालीकाएँ देखने का सूझाव देना चाहता हूँ । मनःपूर्वक शुभेच्छा ।
Watch Bollywood hindi movies ..i learned from that
Omg. My siblings and dad speaks fluent hindi and not me. I'm really impressed xD you're hindi is really good, in fact even better me xD
for a starter, you are speaking really good Hindi especially the words like 'mere liye' and 'samajhte hai' ^_^
As English is your native language, your Hindi is fine, but it is not fluent. While speaking you hesitate a lot. It is Understandable to the listener, Try to speak more articulately. Keep working hard on your Hindi. Good luck.
टिम हिन्दी बोलता है / टिम हिन्दी बोलते हैं your vocabulary and grammar are great, your pronunciation can improve, try to use less retroflex sounds. मेहनत करते रहो, तुम बहुत कुशल हो
Any Indian didn’t know how say comment in Hindustani
I love your farsi-hindi accent lmao
bhai, One month? :D
I am learning English for 20 years and I am of no comparison to you in 2nd language.
Todays Indian use lots of English words in their conversation so its not solid Hindi. You said अभ्यास for practice- wow. Indians have almost forgotten this word.
aap acche bolne lage hindi,kuch hi dinon me saaf hindi bolne lagenge. but Im surprised why you didn't learn bangla(bengali). bangla is 5th largest speaking language, hope u will definitely inspire, thanx
Very good job. I'm Indian and I'm relearning Hindi because I basically almost lost it from not speaking it a lot. You've inspired me to work harder
