Main Do bacce hain

Mere do bachche hein

'Mere' instead of 'main' (Sambandh karak =>Genetive/Possessive case) and 'hein' instead of 'hain' because you are talking about two kids (plural).

 

Main bhi do billiyaan

Mere paas do biliyaan bhi hein (I have also two cats).

Notice the same case in the sentence.

'bhi' = also

 

men hospital => hospital mein => in hospital

 

Jab main thodee hindi seekhtee to main bhaarat aounga.

seekhtee = > seekhongi (future tense) => would learn

Similar words - karoungi (will/would do), gaaungi(will/would sing), khaungi(will/would eat),

soungi(will/would sleep)

In this sentence you used 'Jab'(When), this makes the verb conditional thats why - "would learn" instead of "will learn".


bhaarat aounga = > bharat aaoungi

'aaoungi' because you are female.

Simple tip all feminine verbs ends with ई (pronounced as ee) and maculine with aa(आ). These are hindi svara(vowels). See some similar words above.

 

Happy belated birthday and see you soon in India.

First Hindi notebook attempt

Kal mera janmadin tha!
Main Georgia, USA me rahti hoon. Mere do bacche hain, dono ladkiyaan hai. Meri bhi do billiyaan hai. Main pharmacy techncian hoon, me hospital. Main hindi seekhnaa chahthi hoon. Jab main thodi hindi seekh lugi to main bhaarat aoungi ek saal.

My family and friends think I am crazy to learn Hindi. Why bother learning a language you will probably never use, they all ask. They think it is strange enough when I watch Bollywood movies, now this?!... but isn't learning ANYTHING new, a good thing?

कल मेरा जन्मदिन था!

मैं Georgia, USA में रेहती हूं। मेरी दो बच्चियां हैं। मेरी दो बिल्लियां भी हैं। मैं अस्पताल में pharmacy techncian हूं। मैं हिंदी सीखना चाहती हूं। जब मैं थोड़ी हिंदी सीख जाउंगी, तब मैं भारत आउंगी - आषा है एक साल में।

फिर मिलेंगे!

Firstly, belated wishes on your birthday.

I recieved the same reactions as you, when I ventured into the Russian language. There is no harm in learning something new - true. But there is more; learning a new language, for the mind, is like jogging for the body. Not exhausting but an engaging and essential exercise. And just like jogging, it benefits when done regularly. You have apparently gotten off to a good start. I guess you are already following a textbook. Please keep at it. Best of luck :)
