Seriously, knowing a number of language is always an added advantage not only in regional areas also in international.

My Job made me learn Deutsch & japanese [Lots & lots of tech-specs, datasheets, reports & customer interactions]. GF- Spanish.

Bengali is something which is similar to Oriya & Oriya is my mother tongue [mutter sprache].

Telugu, Tamil & Kannada after staying in Bangalore & Coimbatore.

 

[buddyram]

Nice..!! So if you are interested we can decide on a common medium, Gtalk, Facebook with date and time and can go ahed..!!

Yeah....Thanks !
"Inke Malayalam korch korch ariyam..."
See u from Bengaluru
So this one's for you - "Nanna ge Kannada Gottilla !!"

 

[buddyram]

^^ Make it to => "Nannage Kannada Gothu"
I'll clear ur doubts in future, if any!

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

also bengali and assamese are almost same?

Somewhat. But for better understanding you need to learn both.

See, Bengali, Oriya, Assamese are same type of language.

It's as similar as like Bihari (Any Bihari language) and Hindi.

Dude, my first goal is to learn to speak hindi fluently and to understand hindi when heard or listened. I tried many ways (books like speak hindi in 30 days ) but in vain.
I also do not have guys here around me who know hindi! Any suggestion/resource where to start?

 

[icebags]

^^ yes. start watching movies. and get hooked to saas-bahu serials and danse with the songs of md rafi / koshore kumar / avijit / shaan / shreya .....

try to memorize the dialogues that appear appealing to you. write them down and then get them verified and explained by somebody here there or anywhere else.

that's how we bengalis learn hindi.

good luck.

Somewhat. But for better understanding you need to learn both.

assamese is closer, even if we don't understand what they say, we can read and understand what they write. oriya is near, but a little far.

see, nanducob, bengali wrting is kinda straight forward, contains straight lines and curves much like devnagari style (different letter but similar structure). but from odissa the letters start circling, then further you go south the more circular it gets, and in tamil, god knows where the circling ends.


still, if some little intro is given to a bengali, he/she can start reading oriya straight away.

and i donno about manipuri, but they write using bengali alphabets, i need to try some one day.

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Well I'm not saying about Writing. Knowing bengali letters won't help you to read Odiya.

But understanding Bengali can help you understanding Odiya and Assamese and vice-versa.

Anyway, lets not go OT discussing all these

 

[icebags]

no, no its not OT at all, let people learn through discussion.

alphabet chart: i see many similarities, too easy to understand than telegu, dont u ?

[Nanducob]

^ get hooked to saas-bahu serials

nice advice there, nw hw can someone stand those stupid serials,especially youre a male?

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Nice @icebags..!! Thanks for sharing that. Now I can try memorizing Telegu alphabets

 

[Anish]

@icebags: I know nothing about serials because, we dont have a television at home. Okay, now I have only option - movies. And thanks for the suggestion. I've seen some hindi movies but I have a temptation to include the english subs. Lately, I watched zindagi na milega dobra without the subs, understood nothing but only got the glimpse of the story.!
