International Language Week - India


Preet Singh is a PHD student in IVABS, Massey University. Preet came to visit us and teach us about his homeland – India. India has 28 states, 1.2 billion people, and 18 official languages. Preet speaks 3 languages – English, Hindi and Punjabi. His religion is Sikhism. This means that you follow truthful living. Preet and other Sikhs don’t cut their hair as they believe God made them this way and that they should keep this form. He wears a turban to maintain his hair.

We learnt some of Preet’s Punjabi language: Hello – Sat Sri Akal How are you? – Ki haa hai tuhada

The boys in the class learnt some Bhangra dancing.
