Imagine Together

Hindi and Urdu are two important languages from South Asia that share the same symbols and words to represent numbers. 

Join us as we practice Counting in Hindi and Urdu with The Culture Tree!

  • Follow along with Anu Sehgal from The Culture Tree as she shows us how to count to ten.
  • Enjoy a sing-along with Ramya Shankar from “The Raga Monsters”. Ramya Shankar, an Indo-Jazz vocalist and music educator is the Artistic Director and Founder of “The Raga Monsters,” a school for early music education. Sing “Ten Little Fingers” with Ramya and see if you can hear her use the Hindi/Urdu words for the numbers.
  • Listen to Pridhee Kapoor Gupta from T4Tales as she reads “Das Din”, a counting book written by Gupta. T4tales is all about reviving the magic of stories in Indian languages through interactive story books.

This virtual cultural program is brought to you by our partner The Culture Tree.
