I ALSO think it would be helpful to know Hindi for traveling and also for watching TV. I will have some work to do!Cindy/Snidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899610721323830021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22902281.post-84201326358894742962007-10-29T22:41:00.000+05:302007-10-29T22:41:00.000+05:30As someone who has spent nearly 2 years in B'lore ...As someone who has spent nearly 2 years in B'lore is IS ONLY NOW learning some Kannada during my last couple months here, I just want to say that it's been fun to finally know a few phrases.<BR/><BR/>A very large proportion of the populace speaks at least some English, and in the stores Westerners tend to go to, that percentage approaches 100%. But knowing even just a little Kannada is very useful all the same. For me, I definitely needed a teacher to get started, and I'm not even trying to learn the script.Tripp Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654231926830775673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22902281.post-25031368590096414092007-10-19T07:29:00.000+05:302007-10-19T07:29:00.000+05:30I'm pretty sure Eric didn't know any Hindi when he...I'm pretty sure Eric didn't know any Hindi when he left for India (and Hindi is the language commonly spoken where he went) and he was fine. He learned quite a bit while he was there, but that was partly because he took a class. He even took a cooking class, and all the recipes he came home with were in English. You'll be fine. :)Anabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331233166462638806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22902281.post-5938915064399208262007-10-17T04:18:00.000+05:302007-10-17T04:18:00.000+05:30Have a lovely trip to Bangalore.

You are going closer to my hometown and I am feeling nostalgic. <BR/><BR/>Incidentally, I can read/write/speak seven languages, including Hindi, Urdu and Arabic. <BR/><BR/>I could learn a lot about knitting from this interesting blog.

Hindi is usually understood and spoken, too, in southern India, but it isn't the local language. English will probably be used in signs all over, but I thought you should know before you get deeper into Hindi...MrsFifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11842692214082594142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22902281.post-41516799723787919082007-10-10T10:30:00.000+05:302007-10-10T10:30:00.000+05:30Wow, those are tough languages!
