'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and exams, so research each program in advance. With personal Hindi tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.
🔥 Why is Hindi so difficult and are there ways to learn it in a better way?
Standardized 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.

Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Hindi. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Hindi tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.
🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of 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 dedication. The length of time can differ significantly depending on your existing level of Hindi or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing 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.

In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, always! The largest selection of tested Hindi tutors with detailed profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.
