Teach Me...

:sl:

thats good bro though the way some of them things are said can be rude if said to strangers. like

maneh tari fikar uti - you wouldnt really say TARI. youd say tamaaroh/tamaaraa


kayni tay -also means nothing will happen. like say someone tells you to do something and youre hesistant. they would say kayni tai!

meh bawj hari chem -hari is feminine :? haroh is masculine.

Maybe you should join a proper Gujarati class. You can even take it as a GCSE, you know.

See but Id rather learn from people its easier I mean I suppose I could go class but I prefer people its more real...

Classes takes ages!

I did french, german, arabic, urdu in class it was silly they just teach u the basic stuff and written and stuff and thats it... whereas people can teach you better or if you go to the relevent countries!!!

Yo doofus, that's what they do in the classes too! You seriously need to meet up with someone face to face and learn that way or really dedicate yourself to learning the language not just picking up a couple of words here and there. It isn't an effective way of learning.. trust me, i did that with Arabic and i didn't well as i could have done.:)

So, where do you want to start from?:D

Well, i don't know any books because i didn't learn the language from books. Also, if you're going to learn from books you will be learning a very refined form of it-- the way most surti's speak it thesedays isn't how gujarati is spoken 'properly' in India.

Personally (just my personal opinion you don't have to agree with it) i think you should split your learning into two main topics-
1- learning as many vocabs as possible (keep a book for it maybe)
2- learning grammar and sentence structure.
Put 1 + 2 together = learning the language.

What do you think?
What do you want to start with?

Dictionary and glossary- both sound good.

Like all languages, there are certain rules grammar rules for gujarati too. So yeah.

For audio, you could talk to a Gujji. Or you could just right it as transliteration and speak it out aloud that way.

I could get you an excellent book on Indian dishes. It's South African, too.:D

Transliteration is basically a long word for writing out the say way you talk. Like writing arabic in english and reading it back that way. Saying 'majama' is transliteration as it isn't written in Gujerati. Sorry for being so akward.:D

Start now if you want? What do you want to start with? (Oh, do you also want to learn how to write and read gujji? -- because i don't know how to do that it just looks like pretty sqiggles to me!)
