Bollywood Language and Culture course with Rachel
Informal bi-weekly class; $5 donation, beginning June 13 (no class July 10). Please see calander for exact dates.
Enjoy Hindi movies and Bollywood style dancing more fully...learn some spoken Hindi! We'll also focus on learning some of the cultural bits that make watching a Bollywood dance or movie more enriching. Each bi-weekly session we'll focus on one or two Bollywood "music videos" to use as a vehicle for exploring the language and gaining a vocabulary. For those who are interested in studying the language more seriously, supplementary information and materials will be provided via email -- private lessons are also an option.
