MIS, Hindi Urdu Propaedeutics 1 (E26)

Course content

The course aims to teach communicative Hindi-Urdu at the baseline level (A1). In the beginning, students choose one of the language variants (Hindi or Urdu) and learn either the Nāgarī script or the Arabic alphabet (reading, writing, transliteration and transcription).

Then, basic knowledge of Hindi-Urdu is trained: Students learn to interact at an elementary level by using sentences to describe and narrate elementary aspects of everyday life.

Regarding the grammatical structures, the course focuses on elementary nominal and verbal morphology as well as on the structures of the simple sentence.
