मैं हमेशा हिंदी गानों की ओर खींचा चला आता रहा हूँ, खासकर उनके चुस्त शब्द संधियों की. मेरा पहला महत्वपूर्ण हिंदी के साथ व्यावसायिक वर्षों के दौरान श्री लंका सूचना प्रौद्योगिकी संस्थान में था. मैंने वहाँ एक हिंदी गाना प्रस्तुत किया, और उस अनुभव ने बाकी रह गया. बाद में, मैंने अपने पसंदीदा तमिल गानों के साथ एक कंपनी के आयोजित कार्यक्रम में एक हिंदी गाने का संयोजन किया और पहला स्थान जीता. मेरी हिंदी के बारे में अत्यंत सीमित जानकारी के बावजूद गाने के अलावा, मैं हमेशा यह सोचता रहा हूँ कि संगीत के साथ हिंदी के पुनरारंभ का सही तरीका होगा या नहीं।
I’ve always been drawn to Hindi songs, particularly their smooth word transitions. My first significant interaction with Hindi was during my undergraduate years at the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology. I performed a Hindi song there, and that experience left a lasting impression. Later, I combined a Hindi song with my favorite Tamil songs at a company event and won first place. Despite my limited knowledge of Hindi beyond the song lyrics, I’ve always wondered if restarting Hindi learning alongside music would be a fruitful approach.

My Strategy
Language learning is a complex skill. I am learning Hindi, but my goal is not to write Hindi books. My goal is to learn spoken Hindi.
If I meet a native Hindi speaker, I should be able to have a comfortable conversation. When I reach that level, and when my vocabulary grows to around 2,000 words or more, I will consider my goal achieved.
In summary, my learning goal is to become fluent in spoken Hindi.
Defining a clear goal is the most important step in developing any skill.
I want to apply an Agile methodology, specifically a Scrum-style epic user story, to define my language-learning goal.
Epic: Learn Hindi
As a polyglot learner, I want to be able to speak with a native Hindi speaker comfortably, so that the speaker clearly understands me, and I can maintain a continuous conversation without long pauses. I will also demonstrate evidence that I know at least 2,000 Hindi words. Once these criteria are met, I will consider my Hindi learning goal achieved.
Step 1:
Learn a batch of vocabulary.
Step 2:
Apply that vocabulary in context. To do this, you need to learn the rules of the language, which we call grammar.
Step 3:
Until I reach 2000 words. Repeat Step 1.
