The biggest problem I have had so far was trying to communicate in Hindi. Hindi is the language spoken here, but unfortunately I am able to speak Marathi, not Hindi. On the other hand, most of the villagers dont speak English, and one of the programs that CORD offers is to teach English to the villagers, both at the center and in the villages.
The English teacher is a volunteer named Lippi, and I went with her to the villages to see how she teaches, as well as observed her teach at the center. She is a very fun and proficient teacher, and in fact I was also helped by her lessons, as I was learning from English to Hindi, the reverse of how all the students were learning. The students are all very friendly, and towards the end of class I played pictionary with them to help improve their English vocabulary.
