Nasir Ji is a wonderful professor and even more special person. Please consider taking this course if you are mildly proficient in the class, as you will have to speak on a regular basis. He appreciates engagement and willingness to learn. I know it's 4 times a week, but the class will genuinely make your day and the curriculum is different from day-to-day. All you need to have prior to this class are basic hindi speaking skills, as you will learn to read and write from scratch at an accelerated pace. Take this class if you're considering improving your hindi (reading, writing, and speaking) and enjoy an entire semester with wonderful people and Nasir Ji!
