Today we’re going to do something a little different! This lesson has been inspired by one of our twitter followers - are you following us on twitter?

Something that’s really important when you’re learning any language is to practice and practice and practice creating your own sentences! If you want to be able to speak to people in that language then you’re going to need to be able to think on your feet - and that will only happen if you’ve practiced loads. So that’s what we’re going to do today.

Did you used to have those picture books as a child? You know the ones without any words where you had to make up a story yourself? Well that’s what this lesson is like - just a bit simpler. Here’s how it’s going to work - I’ll give you some pictures and you’ll write a sentence (in Hindi!) for each of them. Easy! The sentence can be as easy or as difficult as you like. Let me give you an example. Suppose we had this picture…

We could make a easy sentence like  यह मेरा जूता है yeh meraa jootaa hai - this is my shoe. Or we could make a more complex sentence like…

उसने अपने नए जूते पहने थे
usne apne nae joote pahne the 
- She was wearing her new shoes.

Do you get the idea then? So now it’s your go. Describe the following pictures in Hindi. Let your imagination run wild - you can make your sentence as simple or as difficult as you like and of course you can use any tense! Be sure to leave your sentences here - comment below - and I’ll let you know if your sentences are grammatically correct - but don’t forget there is no “correct” answer! So here goes…

1.    

2.      

3.   

4.    

5.       

6.    

7.         

8.         

So let your imagination go wild! I can’t wait to see what you can come up with. Leave your sentences in the comments section just below. If you feel like 8 sentences is too many then pick your favourite two!

If there’s a word you don’t know then be sure to look it up on the brilliant online Hindi dictionary Shabdkosh or feel free to ask me!
