6. Describe a foreigner who speaks your native language (Hindi) very well
   You should say:

• Who this person is
• Where he/she is from
• How he/she learns Hindi
• And explain why he can speak Hindi well

Model Answer:

Languages play an imperative role since it is the best way to stay globally connected with each other. I am a multilingual person and here, I would like to talk about a person who speaks our local language very well.

• I don’t know many foreigners as I live in a small village and I have never visited another
  country.
• However, recently I came to know about a foreigner on the internet.
• Nowadays, many people post their travel videos on YouTube.
• I also love travelling, so I watch these channels sometimes.
• One of these channels is of a foreigner, Chris Steven.
• His channel grabbed my attention, as he converses in fluent Hindi.
• He is an American and was born and brought up in America.
• However, the way he speaks Hindi, it seems like he was raised in India.
• He visits India often because he is very interested in Indian culture.
• As I watched his channel more and more, I came to know how he developed an interest in
  Indian culture and Hindi.
• One of his neighbours during his childhood years was Indian and he introduced Chris to
  Bollywood movies.
• That’s how it all started for him.
• Initially, his neighbour used to translate and help him understand the movies.
• However, slowly he started watching these movies on his own.
• He picked up a little bit of Hindi by watching these movies
• His love for Bollywood also made him more curious about Indian culture.
• Eventually, he learnt Hindi, by taking it as an optional course during College.
• And his visits to India, polished his Hindi even more.
• I know many of us Indians love to learn about Western culture.
• So, its always nice to see a foreigner wanting to learn about Indian culture for a change.
