Lesson #1: Saying Hello
So let’s look at our very first word in Hindi; the word for hello which is… नमस्ते namaste. This can be used as a standard greeting to everyone at anytime of the day, so it is really useful to know! Say it again, नमस्ते namaste. Once more नमस्ते namaste. This may seem silly, but repetition really is key to learning! I really advise you to repeat everything you learn many times.
