I’m trying to learn the Nepali language, but I can’t really find any good resources to learn it, or even translate texts properly. Can anyone help?
Alright, thanks!
Other than those, I’ve found a few youtube channels, some resources on a website called nepalgo.de, and some other things on ilanguages.org. I also intend to use some books designed for Nepali kids, but I haven’t managed to find any of those yet.
Jw. Org
Awake magazine, for example, esp. Older issues, offers articles on human behaviour/relationships, history, nature or lifestyle.
Unfortunately not as audio.
I use it a lot, because the vocabulary is imho excellent. In my TL (swedish) the audio is great, even different dialects.
Religious messages aside, one of the best language ressources.
Another vigorous vote for adding Nepali as soon as possible to LingQ (contingent on lesson and resource construction, I know), as I’m about to spend three years there.
I’m finding that ChatGPT is very helpful in doing translations of authentic news texts, and in devoting specific, formatted attention to identifying idioms/phrases.
For aural comprehension, breaknlinks (breaknlinks dot com / nepali ) (a news aggregator; look for नेपाली in the subject headings) has 5 minutes-or-so video news summaries with a transcript of the audio in Nepali underneath the video. Takes a little poking around, but you can find it. Video speed is somewhat adjustable, but it’s perfect for stopping the presenter, repeating the sentence just spoken, and then continuing on for aural comprehension practice paired up with a visual text. ChatGPT can do the translation quite well, far better than Google Translate.
