Learning Hindi

I want to learn Hindi language for many reasons. I am listening to Cd's and podcast to learn to speak Hindi. I am also watching many Hindi movies too. However I always use the subtitles to understand the dialogues. Maybe soon I will watch it without the subtitles.One of the podcast which I learn to is

Thing #23 : Evaluation / Is this really the end? Or just the beginning ...

For me it is definitely the beginning. Wow I have come a long way and it feels great.I would like to thank everyone involved in creating and bringing this wonderful opportunity to us.Without their encouragement and guidance,I probably wouldn't have made any effort to learn some of these technologies.I also enjoyed reading most of our colleague's blogs and they are amazing.

My thoughts:
1. What did you like most? Least?
Before I began this project, I only knew a little about sharing personal photos through Kodak album. Now my favorite is Flickr because it is so much fun and has so many options. I needed to spend more time to learn some of these technologies; however in the end I liked them all.

2. What could we change?
I agree with many of my colleagues that we need more time to learn and do the exercises. While at work I had no time to do any of these steps. Fortunately I had all the time at home to finish this project. Since most of these technologies are new to me, I wanted to have more time to enjoy and make use of the advantages before I had to start to learn a new one.

3. Would you participate in similar program?
I always look forward to learning new things and in the process improve myself.

Thing #22 : Audiobooks

I explored Queens Library's eMedia center. I browsed through the audio books catalog.I was interested in looking for audio books on how to speak other languages.There were not many selections in that category. However there were other audio books that I would like to download and listen to in the future.

Thing #21 : Podcast

I played around with all 3 podcasts. I found podcast.net very interesting. Right away I picked "Science & Nature" under the category "Medicine". I was curious about what kind of podcasts are available in this category. There are many topics I would like to listen to when I have the time. This time I listened to "MedSchool Finals Podcast" to find out whether it will help my daughter to prepare for her medical school finals. I also liked some of the other podcasts from podcast.net, Podcastalley.com and Yahoo Audio.

I enjoyed the EverestPodcast from Yahoo Audio. I will look forward to listen more podcasts in the future.

Thing # 19 : Discovering Web 2.0 Tools

After spending quite some time analyzing many Web 2.0 Tools, I have come to a conclusion to choose the category Bookmarking service as one of the useful tool to have. I compared the three award winning Bookmarking services and signed up for ma.gnolia.com Bookmark service. Starting tomorrow I hope to use this technology to my advantage.

Thing # 18 : Let's Collabrate & Have a Good Time

I signed up for Google Docs account and created a document.I spent some time exploring the features of this application. Before I knew about this technology, I used to save my documents in my email and then open it to edit or print. So in a way this is some what similar to my method. However there are so many advantages using this application. I like the idea of sending my document directly to my blog.
