This language is very much popular in states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi etc. This language also tells us about India’s values and ethics, which you will come to know when you will start learning this language. In fact, Ramcharitmanas has been written by Goswami Tulsidas in the Awadhi language. Awadhi language is spoken in northern India.

There are multiple reasons for learning this language. For some, the main purpose would be to do graduation/masters in Hindi?. For some, they want to make their career in Astrology. For some, they want to know about this language like culture, Vedas, Upanishads etc?. The reasons may vary from person to person. Whatever be your reason for learning this language, one thing is sure that you will enjoy learning this language.

Here are six strategies to learn Hindi— Fast, Easy & Fun ways.

Start practising some basic sentences in Hindi right away!

Learning a new set of alphabets/scripts is going to take time. Most of the foreigners or Hindi learners that I know had started with memorizing and understanding basic sentences in Hindi – such as Mera naam Rahul hai. Mai Mumbai me rehta hoon. (My name is Rahul. I stay in Mumbai). Since you don’t know the Hindi script yet, write down the pronunciation of sentences in your mother tongue or the Roman script.

Learn phrases that are in practical and daily use first

Open Pathshala has an online course for learning Hindi using phrases that you must know for practical use of Hindi during the conversation.

You absolutely don’t need to jump straight to grammar to speak a language. Of course, some grammar is necessary but the more you speak in Hindi without translating sentences in your mind, the quicker the process will be. Once you are confident about basic phrases and daily use sentences, then move to grammar and learn the Devanagari script.

Learn Basic Grammar

Till this point, you should be comfortable having a conversation in basic Hindi. It’s a good time to move towards grammar and correct your conceptions about sentence construction. You can use any good Hindi learning book for this or if you can find a tutor that will be great.

Vocabulary and flash-cards

Without vocabulary, your speaking will remain limited. Learning new words will enrich your language skill. Find and note down new words. If possible use a flashcard or an app that has a flashcard feature to remember new words.

Make mistakes!

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Children learn a language quickly as they are not concerned if they make a mistake. Anyway, people will love it if you make an effort to learn their language and embrace their culture. Mistakes will help you reach the next level!

Practice, practice, practice!

Can’t stress this point enough. Practice even if you are making mistakes. If possible, find a native speaker or Hindi tutor and try to speak Hindi with that person.

I hope these pointers help people to learn Hindi. There are no shortcuts, just dedicated efforts can lead you to speak Hindi fluently.
