Hindi a español?

Question

I have a friend who is from India. English is sufficient to live in US. Wants to learn Spanish.She is trying to learn spanish from english. I believe she would be better off learning spanish as a Hindi speaker. I am unable locate materials to help her to learn in Hindi which seems to be morecomfortable for her. Does anyone know of a source of materials for learning Spanish from Hindi?

Answer 1

To tell the truth, I think it's better that she uses English as a link language between her English and Hindi for a few reasons:

1) There are far more resources in English. I know this because, as a Hindi speaker, I myself have looked for references. Many language learning sites are in English (SD for example) or are aimed at English learners of Spanish. Plus, a lot of these websites have example sentences, which are very valuable.

2) By studying Spanish, her English improves. This may seem weird, but here's why I consider this beneficial for both of her languages. She'll have to read these resources in pure English. This will greatly boost her English vocabulary and improve her grammar and command of the language.
