Want to Learn Hindi? Seeking Advice from Experienced Speakers!

Hi, I want to learn Hindi speaking. This is my humble request to all senior members. Please help me out.

Regards, Rajkumar.

Hi MK, I also want to learn spoken Hindi. I finished exam 1, so I can read, but I can't speak. Can you please help me out?

If you have already completed Prathamic, then it will not be a problem for you. Just get a Hindi-speaking friend. Daily, have a chat. Listen to Hindi channels. That's it.

I agree with Rajkumar. It's the only way you'll get to learn for free, at your own pace, in a comfortable environment. Most importantly, because you'll be with a friend and having fun together, you won't even notice that you're learning.

That's unless, of course, you have money to spend and want to attend a professional Hindi coaching institute. In which case, I am sorry I can't help you because your search on Google will yield the same results as mine! Good luck, and just catch hold of the first Punjabi you find!

Kind regards,

Without practice, you cannot learn any language. Theoretical knowledge may help you understand, but for speaking, you need to practice with people who speak the same language, just as you learned to speak English.

Dear Ms. Bharati, The only way to pick up Hindi is to mingle with people and environments where Hindi is the mother tongue. In fact, you will not even realize that you have learned Hindi after three months. The same will apply to any language, not just Hindi. There is nothing better than that. That's for sure. It's my personal experience.

Dear Bharati, the best way to learn Hindi is to memorize a few important Hindi words and try to talk to your friends using those words. Talk slowly and try to catch hold of some words of which you may not be aware. Similarly, I am doing the same while talking in Arabic here in Saudi Arabia with my Saudi friends. Don't worry about pronunciation and mistakes; try to learn, and definitely within a year, you will judge and find yourself in a much more comfortable position while speaking to others.

Go for a Hindi movie and visit metros like Delhi and Mumbai; you will learn Hindi automatically.

In my opinion, Hindi is a very easy language to learn. The good thing is you already know the written format. The only thing you require is to overcome your shyness and start practicing speaking. Since you mentioned that you don't have any Hindi-speaking friends, you can watch Hindi programs/movies on TV and try to think and speak in Hindi by yourself. All the best.

CTI.hr099, please refrain from giving irrelevant responses. Why should all Indian females know Hindi? On what basis? We are all professionals here, so let's maintain decorum in this forum.

Steps to Learn Hindi Effectively

1. Ask someone to write important phrases in Hindi and their equivalent meanings using a script that you can read. Learn the correct pronunciation of each sentence (like "Mujhe bahut bhook lagi hai" - I am very hungry, "Mera kaam ab khatam ho gaya hai" - My work is now finished, etc.). Keep that paper handy at all times and use it often whenever the situation requires with Hindi-speaking persons that you interact with. After just a week or two, you will memorize the main sentences and be able to deal with some combination of Hindi and your native/English language with Hindi speakers. Using these methods, I have managed in places like China, Japan, Korea, etc., working with natives. I can pretty much travel and shop around in the deep interiors of these countries. Keep a phone number of a Hindi speaker ready and call them when it gets too tough for you to handle. Remember, you can barely understand what others will say to you. Natives speak with different tones using vocabulary that barely makes sense to you. But most people like to help - learn to say "Mujhe Hindi kam aati hai" - I know very little Hindi. You will be surprised how people will try to use very simple words with you.

2. Once you feel comfortable with the above, you will realize that you can now add some variations to the above on your own without much help from others.

3. Once you can speak a little bit and have a good comfort zone, then take proper Hindi classes that will teach you how to read and write Hindi and speak properly without your native tone.

Good luck.

Hi friends, I too have the same intention to learn Hindi. I know some good vocabulary, can read and write as well, but I am not fluent in speaking. So, I have decided to watch Hindi movies and listen to Hindi FM to improve. I will make sure to practice and share my progress with all of you in Hindi.

Hi friends, I have a very good idea for learning Hindi. Simply watch Hindi drama serials daily that are airing on TV. This will help you gain knowledge of Hindi.

Learning Hindi: Tips and Suggestions

I can suggest you learn Hindi by simply learning a little bit of Hindi grammar. Don't feel shy to speak Hindi with anyone. At first, it may feel like the character Su in "Rang de Basanti," but eventually, you will feel like you are playing the character of Aamir Khan. Try to watch Hindi news channels, Hindi movies, and listen to Hindi FM channels. If you want more guidance, you can post any queries in this forum in Hindi. Good luck.

It is very easy nowadays as there is a lot of TV exposure. Start by viewing Hindi film songs initially. Listen to the Hindi news bulletin of AIR and follow the English News Bulletin. You can correlate both of them and understand. Many of your friends might be able to speak in Hindi. Have conversations with them only in Hindi, whether it is right or wrong. Another way of learning a new language is by being in touch with kids who speak Hindi. Necessity is the mother of invention. If you make it a necessity, you will invent how to speak. All the best.
