Are you wondering how to learn Hindi?  Interest in learning Hindi has grown in the last several years.  India’s economic growth and emerging influence on the global political and cultural scene have made it more and more common for business people and business students to be seeking opportunities on the sub-continent.  And the best-prepared among them are learning Hindi to enhance their success.  Add to that the continued interest in India as an ancient culture, rich with spiritual, philosophical, musical and poetic traditions, and you will see a number of Westerners interested in learning about India, traveling there, and learning one of India’s most commonly spoken languages.  As a result, interest in learning Hindi has sky-rocketed over the course of the last decade.  More colleges and universities are offering the language as a course program, more private language schools are providing instruction in Hindi, and more online Hindi courses have become available.  So there are increased opportunities for any student who is trying to discover how to learn Hindi. The options available to you if you are interested in learning Hindi are, in general, a university course, a private language school course, a tutor or an online Hindi course.  University courses are often excellent but not always very available.  To begin with, even with the increase in interest in learning Hindi, there are not that many colleges and universities that offer a Hindi program.  Moreover, university Hindi programs are generally only available to students enrolled in the university.  Stopping in to take a semester or two of Hindi is not usually an option.  When available, a university course is often the most comprehensive, offering a full curriculum of language instruction in addition to such benefits as a language lab and regular conversation hours.  These benefits are very helpful for anyone serious about knowing how to learn Hindi. Private language schools may or may not offer Hindi.  It depends largely on location, the size of the community in which the school is located and the availability of a Hindi language instructor.  In my experience, those schools that do offer Hindi usually don’t have enough demand to make up a class, so they arrange for private tutoring for interested students.  In my experience, language schools can be quite disappointing.   The materials can be somewhat limited, the amount of class time is stingy, it is unlikely that you will find a language lab for study outside of class and, although the teachers may be native speakers, their skill and training as instructors is hit-or-miss.  Add to all of that the fact that they are pricey, and the result is often a disappointing experience.  The same drawbacks apply to a private tutor, too

1980s and 1990s Hindi-language newspapers experienced a veritable ‘revolution’ in terms of circulation, outreach, and political importance, surpassing national English-language newspapers on at least the first two accounts.

the question of the national language of India .

However, I am less hopeful because I have not read a cogent analysis from English or Hindi speaking media. Instead, what I see is jingoism and silly advice what Mumbai should learn from lesser known cities who are not in the same league. …..

By Sami Rathi Hindi is the second most spoken language in the world following the Chinese. Geographically, people who speak Hindi are scattered all over the world including in the United States. There are many reasons why it’s gaining popularity.

By Ostom Ray Did you know that in 2002, an estimated 32% of Internet users were non-English speakers? With the phenomenal growth of computer usage and the spread of the net fever, especially in the third world countries, the figure would have multiplied manifold in the past 4 years

Hindi and Urdu are derivatives of Hindustani . Hindi was the common speech ‘khari boli’ as Sanskrit, a scholarly language , was more difficult. Hindi slants towards Sanskrit and yes this is the official Hindi .

Dreaming in Hindi offers an eye-opening account of what learning a new language can teach us about distant worlds and, ultimately, ourselves.
