Title: SBS News in Hindi
Body:
From http://www.sbs.com.au/yourlanguage/hindi?language=hi
SBS Radio is an Australian broadcast station that offers a news broadcast in Hindi. “The SBS Hindi program "Laut te Parinde" is broadcast Nationally every single day from 5:00 to 6:00 pm. Tune in for local, Indian and International News.” There is no written transcript, but advanced learners may enjoy practice listening. As it’s one hour long, you will probably want to choose a section of the broadcast to use in class. Quotes in English remain in English and are not translated to Hindi. To make the listening task easier, perhaps pick a section with a quotation in English that may help students understand the Hindi surrounding the quotation.
