Hindi problem.!!?

Question

i want to learn hindi online.. so where do ii go?? and also what is bollywood??

Answer 1

bollywood is indias version of hollwood. bombay is a place in india & its where most of the movie stars live, so instead of hollywood, the B from Bombay makes it bollywood. & i'm not sure about hindi online. usually you should buy cds to learn a new language.

Answer 2

Hi, I'm doing the same. Here are some of my bookmarks:

http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~malaiya/hin...  <--- lots of links here to dictionaries, etc... it's old and some of the links are dead tho

http://www.avashy.com/hindiscripttutor.h...   <--- Very helpful for learning the Devanagari script

Also, find I found some learning Hindi podcasts on iTunes: I Speak Hindi, and Namaste Dosti : The Learn Hindi Podcast. There are a few more as well, and they're good for pronunciation.

I also have the Rosetta Stone for Hindi. It's very good, but very expensive ($200).

Bollywood? It's Mumbai's very successful film industry. Mostly musicals. I love them! Some of my favorites are Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, Om Shanti Om, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, and Laagan.

For some India-related films, try Water, Monsoon Wedding, The Namesake, Mississippi Masala, and Hollywood/Bollywood.

Here's a link to some Indian films: http://www.netflix.com/Genre?sgid=2527

Answer 4

Bollywood is the informal term popularly used for the Mumbai-based Hindi-language film industry in India. Bollywood is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; it is only a part of the Indian film industry. Bollywood is one of the largest film producers in the world and the largest in terms of number of films produced.

The name is a portmanteau of Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood, the center of the American film industry. However, unlike Hollywood, Bollywood does not exist as a real physical place. Though some deplore the name, arguing that it makes the industry look like a poor cousin to Hollywood, it seems likely to persist and now has its own entry in the Oxford English Dictionary.
