🌍 A Useful Culture Connection

Hindi has many animal-related expressions.

For example:

शेर जैसा बहादुर
Sher jaisa bahaadur
= Brave like a lion.

Here:

  • शेर (sher) = lion

  • जैसा (jaisa) = like

  • बहादुर (bahaadur) = brave

This is one reason learning vocabulary through sentences is more useful than memorizing isolated words.
