Hello, I apologize if this question has been asked multiple times. I am not in the best state mentally at the moment and am currently grieving.

As the title says, how can I practice this or improve? To add context, I work in ABA and earlier today I had a client graduate for the 4th time. I won't lie, it was(still is) rather painful and I already knew this day would come but it still hurts. I wish I wouldn't get so attached because in the end, it hurts me a lot and I suffer.

I feel dumb for asking for help on becoming less attached or how to handle it better. I'm sorry. Please be kind as I am sad about this. Any comments or advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi! For some context I'm new to learning this language and became interested in it since half of my father's side (Trinidad & Tobago) speaks/spoke it. Unfortunately he won't let me contact them so I'm taking learning into my own hands.

I do have a few questions about the pronouns.

When saying "I am"/"You are"/"He/She/It is" etc, would I say something like "हम....हईं"/ "इ/ऊ...हऽ"? Or would "हम...बनी"/"इ/ऊ....बा" be used more?

Another question I have is when you're talking to someone you're familiar with, is "टोर" okay or is there another form?

Lastly, when it comes to pronouncing any words that have "ऽ" do I pronounce is as an extra "a" or do I say it a different way? For example "तोर के हवऽ?" would be "Tor ke hav?" or would it be "Tor ke hava?"?.

If I made any mistakes please let me know and for reference, I'm using/reading a book called "Learn Bhojpuri For Beginners" by Ahmet Neseli. There is also a channel I go to for learning more phrases (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTaPp9r5UfOzOyPhyeI0g1iTnp4h6f4Xh&si=ipYBdH9-EriN5QCd).

Also please don't attack me, I'm still new and learning.
