Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said.

This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Hindi. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Hindi at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Hindi, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences. In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned.

Dylan Thomas Reads His Most...

Dylan Thomas

Dylan Marlais Thomas (October 27, 1914 to November 9, 1953) was a Welsh poet and writer. He became widely popular in his lifetime, and remained so after his death at the age of 39 in New York City. By then, he had acquired a reputation, which he had encouraged, as a "roistering, drunken and doomed poet." In the following recordings, Thomas reads his poems "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night," "Poem In October," "In My Craft or Sullen Art," "Lament," "Fern Hill," "Poem On His Birthday," "A Refusal To Mourn," and "If I Were Tickled By The Rub of Love."
