Namaste! (Hello) from the Nepali section of Bemidji

    Whenever I meet a new language and culture, I can't help wanting to learn more about it.  The other day I had a pleasant conversation with a young man from Nepal.  I knew where Nepal was, and that it was in the Himalaya  mountains, but not much more.  He spoke 4 languages, English, Hindi, Nepali and Sherwa, his family language.  He told me of his plans and some about his culture.  I went home and started to read on the internet about Nepal and the Nepali language, and found a good introduction to Nepali at this site.  I've listened to the first video a couple of times, and now know a few words and phrases in Nepali,  I don't know how much further I'll go in this language, I'm not into mountain climbing or trekking at this time, but I'm enjoying the trip so far.
