If you are using Popling to learn German, you may see some changes to answers in the next few days. I’ve recently had another translator review the files and add articles to the nouns as requested here. I know this could be confusing to those of you currently popping the edited cards, but it’s for your own good!

In the last few days, I’ve created a few simple Hindi poplings from wikitravel’s Hindi phrasebook. They are great for travelers who want to interact with locals, or people just gettings started learning Hindi.

All vocabulary and phrases are transliterated to roman characters which means you don’t have to dicipher that lovely script. You can however see the script in the notes if you have a compatible font installed.

Immediately, I translated that in my head to 328 pesos, without even thinking about it. I don’t think the guy knew what to make of my huge smile, because no one could be that happy about paying for gas.
