Learning Hindi - summer intensive programs

Has anyone had any experience with these summer intensive Hindi programs?

University of Washington, Seattle
UC Berkeley
Harvard
SASLI

I'd appreciate any comments you might be able to share on the quality of instruction...

Thanks!

Hi there,
I asked someone on my programme who took the SASLI programme i nsoummer 03 and said it was pretty good. He says it's in a nice part of the country with good weather at that time of th e year he said 4 days aweek 9-1ish. It'll be mostly full of undergraduate students doing the wisconsin programmme in Banaras which might not be som much fun if you're a post grad. (ratio of about 1-3) It's also quite expensive but if you're a student then you can apply for a FLAS (foriegn Language Area Studies) grant.

Thanks for the info, Beebah! If you're in Jaipur, I guess you're getting the best kind of lessons!

Not personal experience, but the Berkeley program has an excellent reputation.
