📚 How much Hindi do I need to know to sign up for a course?
When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and graded tasks, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Hindi tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like instruction for beginners, etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.
🔥 Why is Hindi so difficult and are there ways to learn it more effectively?
Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Hindi. As proven by others before, 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 expressions, express yourself, socialize in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and fun 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 level practitioners.
🤷 How long does it take to learn Hindi?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Hindi will demand at least 600 hours of active use. The amount of time can differ quite a bit depending on your existing level of Hindi or proficiency in 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 news and movies, write by hand and online using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Hindi out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Hindi classes online.
🤳 Can I choose my own Hindi instructor?
In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, of course! The largest selection of verified Hindi tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.
🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?
Colleges typically structure classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools typically give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can choose your own lesson frequency and time, on weekdays and/or weekends.
