Need... help... - I\'ve been trying to learn Nepali alone for a long time now but none of it is sticking. I can\'t have a conversation past the \"I\'m fine too, thanks!\" stage, which is very upsetting as I\'m so interested in Nepalese culture and language. I need someone who speaks Nepali well enough to teach to be there for me and give me intensive teaching whilst online, because the Pimsleur method definitely does not help me!

Love & Light, and I pray to Buddha that someone replies!

- Darz!

I know and understand what you\'re experiencing! I\'m trying really hard to not forget all that I\'ve learned while in Nepal. I am able to hold a conversation, but need to continually jog my memory to make sure that I am not mixing up vocabulary (usually with Spanish).

I would be glad to help. I am not going to be able to do the \"intensive teaching\" as you mention, since I\'m also a student of Nepali (and a student in the daytime), but I would be glad to work with you to keep the old fresh in mind.

Check back here as well. We\'ll have some more games to try and work on vocabulary!

Swahgatam - welcome!

Practice makes perfect! - This is not I am saying.
Our new friend Sheena think so and I think so too.

I am here to help does who like to learn Nepali.
Darz,
Write anything you know in Nepali then I will know your level in Nepali language and will easy to start...

wish you all the best!
Shubha kamana!

Dhanyevaad!

Darz Sunday 07th of January 2007 06:01:45 PM
Thanks a lot, guys! - Thanks for getting back to me on this! I really appreciate the help as it is extremely needed haha.

Pradeep, this is going to be very short and sweet because as it turns out, i don\'t know a lot of Nepali =S...so here goes:

Namaste
Tapaailai kasto chaa?
Malai sancaai/raamro chha/chhaina
Tapaalko naam ke ho?
Mero naam Darryl ho
Wahaako naam ke ho?
Wahaako naam Jimbob Smithdude ho (I can\'t think of random names!)
Ma ke gharna sakkchu ta (not sure of that one, but i think it means \"What can I do?\") ??????
.......

and that\'s it! It would be absolutely fantastic to learn as much as the human brain can retain (bearing in mind that i have an extremely small brain :D) for my travels to nepal in 2008-09 for volunteer work after i finish high school!

Much love,
Darryl

- Darryl!

I am sure Pradeep and Anup, and anyone learning here too will be glad to help you learn. Join us!

You\'ll be surprised how much it helps, even though it seems that it\'s hard to remember, it will ALL come back when you are in Nepal (it definitely happened to me!)

Best wishes! Talk with you in the forum!

Namaste Darryl! -
Tapainlai Nepali ramrai (ramro) aaundorahechha ta!
(You know Nepali well!)

Sabai kuraharu thikai lekhnu bhayeko chha.
(You have wrote all correct.)

Matra tapainle shabdaharuko pronounciation kasari garnu hunchha, malai sanka chha.
(Only I am confused, how do you pronounce the words.)

the words like:
sancaai, wahaa, sakkchu are will be correct if we say/write as follows:
sanchai, wahaan, sakchhu

aru sabai thikai chha.
(rest are ok.)

Aba mero palo!
(Now my turn!)
Mero naam Pradeep ho.
Ma Nepali hun.
Ma euta Music Publishing Companyma kaam garchhu.
Tehan ma Sound Technique Engineer hun/chhu.
Tapain sanga bhetera/bhetna paunda dherai khusi laagyo.
Tapaainko bare ajha badhi janna ichhhuk chhu.
Lekhnu hola.

Tehan = there
bhetera/bhetna = meeting/to meet
paunda = having/ to have
dherai = more
bare = about
ajha badhi = more than
janna = to know
ichhhuk = like to

Antama (at last),
Tapaainle dherai garna saknu hunchha, tapaainko brainko size bhanda ni dherai... :))

Dhnyevaad!

Darz Monday 08th of January 2007 11:21:33 PM
