My Hindi is progressing at an undefined pace. I say that because the native speaker I spend most time with is from Fiji, and so my Hindi is likely to be "corrupted", at least in the view of speakers from India (including another friend from the Panjab, who is dismissive of the Fijian patois). Also, much like my Italian, I don't get enough practice speaking, so in both cases, my written comprehension is way ahead of my ability to make myself understood.

Devanagari is beautiful, but my handwriting isn't, as I was reminded the other while watching a 7-year old Nepali friend writing the syllabary. It confirmed that being left-handed is not the reason my attempts at writing devanagari are unreadable.
