Have written to the author of the video to ask for the remaining portion, it abruptly ends at 7:10 while a lot still remains to be said. I am sure she would also benefit from the feedback you gave above.

First four minutes of the 7 minute video shows a woman going on about how small children learn the Hindi alphabet. She is not very good as a teacher and I am also not impressed with her grasp on Hindi. If she has to use the English word such as “quickly”, “use”, “position”, “convenient”, “develop”, “expertise”, “practice”, and “research”, she should not be in the teaching Hindi business.

Anyway, I wasted the time listening to her rather inane talk and came away none the wiser on how to type Hindi characters using the standard keyboard.

I think that merely having the technology is not enough. One has to use it well. Having digital recorders and Youtube is not enough. What to teach and how to teach is equally important, if not more so.

This video is a shining example of how not to teach. First of all, in any segment, one should declare up front what one is going to do.

“In this segment, we will talk randomly about Indian language scripts, make a few wrong statements, and ramble on about typing in Hindi. We will not be telling you anything on how you can type Hindi characters using your standard qwerty keyboard.”

A statement of objective like that saves everybody time.

For one thing, it creates confusion when people just post a comment as “lurker” without indicating which lurker they are.

Second, allowing anonymous comments makes it hard to know whether to take a comment seriously or not.

In the present instance, both the previous comments by “lurker” appears to have been made by the same commenter. And neither of the comments were made by Alok. I am not sure if they were made by Alok.
