Washington: Aiming to promote Hindi in the US, the Indian embassy in Washington will impart free Hindi classes to students of the prestigious George Washington University.
The six-week non-credit Introductory Hindi Language course, beginning August 28, will be conducted by Dr Moxraj, a teacher of Indian Culture at the embassy, news agency PTI reported.
Earlier this year, the embassy had conducted free weekly Hindi classes of one hour duration on its premises. The course generated an impressive interest, with 87 candidates from seven countries registering for the classes on short notice.
“This indicates that there is a strong interest in Hindi language learning and encourages us to build on the successful introductory course,” said Benjamin D Hopkins, Director, Sigur Centre for Asian Studies and Deepa M Ollapally, Associate Director, Sigur Centre for Asian Studies at the University in a recent letter to the Indian ambassador to the US.
In the Introductory Hindi Language course, students will be familiarised with the various basic aspects of the language, including alphabet, and will be taught to speak in Hindi.
