• You have deep proficiency in Hindi and substantial experience teaching it as an additional language. You understand its grammar, pronunciation, writing system, registers, variation, and common learner challenges. You have experience designing Hindi curricula.
• Your cultural expertise is deepest in India, and you understand the broader South Asian sociolinguistic and sociopolitical context. You can navigate questions of language and identity, script, register, standardization, multilingualism, regional variation, and cross-border language communities with nuance.
• Knowledge and curiosity about India’s broader linguistic landscape. You are familiar with Hindi’s place within the Indo-Aryan language family, including its relationship with Urdu and points of comparison with languages such as Punjabi and Bengali. You’re eager and able to deepen your knowledge of other Indo-Aryan and Dravidian languages quickly, and to collaborate effectively with language experts when working beyond your direct expertise.
• Linguistics training and typological awareness. You have a background in linguistics, including language typology, and can apply it to unfamiliar languages – working effectively with language experts to identify learning challenges and design accurate, pedagogically sound courses.
• Analytical thinking. You can evaluate linguistic questions systematically, distinguish errors from acceptable variation, and make clear decisions when conventions differ. You’re curious about AI-enabled, human-in-the-loop systems and excited to learn how to use them to support quality at scale.
• Creativity and product sense. You can transform serious learning objectives into experiences that feel approachable, playful, culturally meaningful, and motivating.
• Operational strength. You can lead complex projects, manage dependencies, maintain rigorous documentation, and improve processes without sacrificing quality.
• Excellent communication and collaboration. You communicate complex linguistic and pedagogical concepts clearly to both specialists and non-specialists. You give and receive feedback well and build productive relationships across disciplines.
