🌆 How can I master Hindi in Lismore and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

🔥 Why is Hindi not easy and are there ways to learn it the easy way?
Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Hindi. In reality, you can gain basic Hindi fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand most expressions, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Relocating is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Hindi. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Hindi tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Hindi?
Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Hindi will require at least 600 hours of practice. The length of time can differ by a lot depending on your existing level of Hindi or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write by hand and online using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Hindi out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Hindi classes online.
🤳 Can I choose my own Hindi coach?
In colleges and universities, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened Hindi tutors with full profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.
🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?
Colleges run classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
