🎟 How expensive is it to learn Hindi and how much should Hindi tutors ask?

Language centers and independent Hindi tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Hindi tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 12 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, positive reviews and popularity.

📚 How much Hindi do I need to know to sign up for a course?
When considering college and learning center classes be prepared prove your profeciency level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and graded tasks, so research those in advance. With personal Hindi tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for adults, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.
🔥 Why is Hindi not easy and are there ways to learn it more effectively?
One-size-fits-all 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 several hours a week you will be able to understand common phrases, speak on some level, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Hindi. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Hindi tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced students.
🤷 How long does it take to master Hindi?
Some people seem to 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 dedication. The actual range of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired level of Hindi or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible 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 language centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, certainly! The largest selection of approved Hindi tutors with video profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.
🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?
Colleges usually offer classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
