Explorations in Hindi

3 units

This course is based on-site at Washington University's Summer Program in India. It is intended for students who already have some knowledge of Hindi. Students will improve their existing skills in a Hindi-literate environment and explore the language on their own. Students who plan to take this course must meet with Dr. Timalsina (in the Department of Asian & Near Eastern Languages & Literatures, 121 Busch Hall; e-mail samvidullasa@hotmail.com) by March 31. Students will be given an assignment (in literature, media study, translation, an interview-based project, etc.) that suits their interests and their level of proficiency in the language, and that they will complete in India under the guidance of Mr. Chundawat, the local Hindi instructor.
