Hindi language training
The best way to learn Hindi
Get a Hindi tutor
Having a regular Hindi lesson in the diary will keep you motivated and focused. Enlisting the help of a private Hindi tutor will ensure that lessons revolve around your own language needs and best learning methods.
Watch films
Hindi is the language of Bollywood. There are no shortage of dramatic films, with captivating story lines, to practice the language. Films span all genres and thus appeal to all tastes.
Writing
Although the Eszett online classroom ensures all work is saved digitally, you may also consider taking notes in a separate notebook, whether it be to write down useful vocabulary, or to refer back to a grammar point you have learnt. The act of writing down the words will help commit them to memory. This activity is also particularly effective if you are more of a visual learner as it allows you to see information written on a page.
Why learn Hindi
Discover India
Hindi, which is spoken by 425 million people as a first language, is the official language of India. Though there are several regional languages in India, such as Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Marathi and Assamese, Hindi is spoken by the largest number of people as a first language.
India is a beautiful, diverse country. Home to the world’s oldest civilisation, India boasts 32 UNESCO World Heritage sites, including mosques, temples, monuments, ancient ruins and forts.
Loan words
Hindi uses hundreds of loan words on a regular basis. Consequently, if you speak English, Arabic or Persian, you will likely already be able to make yourself understood by throwing in words from your native language. You will also find that some Hindi words have been borrowed in English, such as jungle, bungalow and cheetah.
Learn more languages
Belonging to the Indo-Iranian sub-family of languages, knowledge of Hindi will also help learn other languages, such as Sanskrit, Urdu, Nepalese, Bengali and Gujarati.
