First and foremost: Get rid of all possible distractions as they will be your biggest enemy. Anticipate as many well in advance!
If phone calls from friends or visiting guests are interfering with your studies, turn off your phone and lock your room, asking not to be disturbed while studying. It will greatly improve your understanding and learning.
Set goals for yourself such that they are able to motivate you whenever you feel low or disinterested.
Your job prospects will improve if you know a second language. Knowing a second language can be a huge asset in today’s global marketplace for both employers and employees. Modern businesses are constantly on the lookout for employees who can help them with international trade, and the Hindi language is especially valuable in the current climate. Hindi speakers represent a sizable demographic for businesses to target, and research indicates that some Hindi-speaking countries offer excellent business opportunities.
Study with a strict regime adding fun bits to your learning
Create your own decks or use pre-existing decks in flashcard apps like Memrise and Anki to start expanding your vocabulary and learning. Writing a journal or a diary to capture the majority of the phrases and words used frequently in day-to-day Hindi speaking, along with their respective articles, to increase its practical usage. It’s also a good idea to collect conversation starters and fillers to help you develop your first conversation. To practise pronunciation and speaking, read Hindi aloud in front of a mirror or to your pet or a plant. Using the shadowing technique while watching a movie or video can be extremely beneficial. To help you even more, listen to Hindi music or audiobooks.
Study thoroughly about what you’re about to get into and have realistic expectations!
Create a reasonable (but not overly ambitious) study plan, as well as short and long-term measurable learning objectives. Divide your learning into short chunks, beginning with the topics you want to concentrate on. To ensure consistent study methodology, use the Pomodoro Technique, which involves studying in shorter intervals throughout the day rather than studying for longer periods of time on weekends.
Study with world proven immersion method
I made a mini-India in my home by hanging a lot of photos from India and labelling them with their Hindi names. Rather than mentally translating names from English to Hindi, spend a few hours revising and trying to remember the Hindi names of objects in your home.
