👨‍👩‍👧 A Family Guide for NRI Parents and Grandparents
1. Start the Day in Hindi
Begin with simple greetings like “Namaste,” “Suprabhat” (Good Morning), or “Kaise ho?” (How are you?). Use them consistently to build comfort.
2. Story Time with Grandparents
Schedule weekly story sessions over video calls. Grandparents can tell folk tales, personal stories, or even recite poems in Hindi.
3. Hindi Labeling Game
Label common household items like “Darwaza” (door), “Kursi” (chair), and “Pankha” (fan). Make a game out of spotting and naming them.
4. Sing Hindi Rhymes
Classic Hindi rhymes like “Lakdi ki Kaathi” or “Nani Teri Morni” are fun and musical ways to teach vocabulary and pronunciation.
5. Watch Hindi Cartoons
Choose shows like “Chhota Bheem,” “Motu Patlu,” or “Little Krishna.” Entertainment is a powerful teacher!
6. Use Hindi in Daily Chores
Include Hindi while doing chores. For example, say:
🗣️ “Kripya mujhe paani do” (Please give me water)
🗣️ “Yeh kapde almari mein rakh do” (Put these clothes in the cupboard)
7. Celebrate Indian Festivals
Involve your child in celebrations of Diwali, Holi, Rakhi, etc., and explain their significance in Hindi. Use related vocabulary like “Deepak,” “Rangoli,” and “Puja.”
8. Hindi Word of the Day
