India to send 300 teachers to China to learn Mandarin

[Edevelop]

Chinese should learn Pashto if they want to enhance relations with Pakistan and or want to go to Afghanistan after NATO leaves

I saw a video on Youtube of a Chinese guy actually speaking fluent Punjabi (with an accent I think).

Not singing but actually speaking.

How good/bad is this guy's pronunciation in Hindi?

Why do keep subtitles in Chinese even in Chinese language program.

Why do keep subtitles in Chinese even in Chinese language program.

Because there are a lot of various accents and dialects in Chinese.

Some of which are easily understood, and some which are not. In singing programs they usually keep it there anyway in case anyone wants to know the lyrics.

Gujrat businesssmen are already learning mandarin. Only Gujratis and Chinese seems to be good businessmen I think.

300 teachers is very small number. It should become a course in India.

How good/bad is this guy's pronunciation in Hindi?

Pretty good(for a person not having Hindi/Urdu as mother tongue) except last words of verses when he tries to pause

How good/bad is this guy's pronunciation in Hindi?

He is not pronouncing the word Tu(You) properly. But its nice effort from a Chinese speaker.

Well, learn Chinese language that a very smart moves from India. At least, you will understanding what the "next moves" from China then you can go from there.

Learning is never has border dispute but a country always does.

How bad is his accent in Punjabi though?

That's pretty good, I wouldn't have imagined that he was speaking Hindi well at all.

How bad is his accent in Punjabi though?

not bad at all, infact quite genuine. like he says, he learnt it when he was a child. so he sounds like any other native speaker

Sounds native? Wow.

I might start trying to learn some of these languages then. Maybe it's a late start but with the new computer software (like Rosetta Stone) it could work out well.

nothing beats childhood learning, but another language is always worth the effort. perhaps you'll be able to troll in punjabi someday

Its the age of globalization. With China's expanding economy, it only was a matter of time before this happened. Any nation that becomes influential in the global stage will spread its language and culture.
