Hindi is also a pretty straightforward language; by which I mean that the written alphabet corresponds exactly to the sounds made when speaking it. When I was in Korea, I used to write korean words in hindi (I did not know the korean alphabet then) because transliterating to english would screw up the pronunciation and unless you get the pronunciation exactly right, the locals just don't understand what you are saying.
Hey, would you be kind enough to email me? My address is in my profile. I’ve been looking for a Hindi speaker of Korean for a while. I’d love to ask you a few questions if you have a moment!
