Since, Hindi pronunciation is vastly different with similar sounding words and subtle distinctions. The rhythm and tone of the speech need consideration. Beside this the grammar placement of subjects, objects and the verbs are different from English. Hence, learning Hindi is often a bit tougher than English and the other European languages.
Interestingly, Hindi is a phonetic language like Spanish and in contrast to English. So, it's quite easy. According to the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) USA, Hindi would be harder to learn than French or German and easier than Chinese or Japanese.
In a nutshell, a learner needs only one thing to learn Hindi or any other language is ‘motivation’. If someone is self-convinced and motivated it can be extremely easy.
It’s an interesting question. We must know the answer to this question. First of all, The origin of Hindi is great and it has an interesting journey. It comes from Sanskrit, Pali, Prakrit and Apabhramsa. It has an outstanding cultural legacy of many classical languages. Where Sanskrit is called ‘dav-vani’ means ‘the language of god’. So, Hindi has an inextricably old spiritual and religious past, deep cultural roots and literary connection from Sanskrit.
Second, India is a fast-growing economy and it has global influence. To do business and find a job could be slightly easy.
Third, as a traveler you can visit such a big country with great diversity and you can make yourself astonished.
Fourth, one can enjoy Bollywood movies and songs with huge dance numbers.
Fifth, you can get a glimpse of how a country where nomadic village life to postmodern cities exist at the same time. One can also see a great paradox in India: how extremely rich and poor live in the same country.
Six, Hindi is incredibly similar to Urdu which is an official language of Pakistan. So, learn one and get doubled happiness.
Seventh, Hindi is a phonetic language so it is easy to learn.
No, this course is designed for those who don't know anything. We begin from zero. ‘Indus Hindi’ teaches you listening, speaking, reading and writing within the row along with the script.
Yes! It is. It depends on learners’ however normally it takes 1-3 months to make basic conversation easily. Apparently, it matters how someone is motivated, dedicated and fascinated to learn the language.
There are some interesting basic differences between English and Hindi. Hindi is a phonetic language where English is not. Hindi sentence word order follows Subject + Object + Verb which is unlike English. Hindi basically has 11 vowels and 33 consonants and some more but English has just 5 vowels and 21 consonants. Hindi script is called ‘Devnagari’ and English is called ‘Latin’.
Being polite in Hindi is easy just use ‘Jee’ after someone’s name. It can also be used after greeting or good bye or thank you. Examples: Namaste Jee / Namaste Kamla Jee/ Fir milinge Jee / Haan Jee etc.
Just say ‘Namaste /ˌnʌməsˈteɪ/’ for both.
There are many different ways to say ‘I love you’ to someone in Hindi. But, in general if you are a male, you can say ‘Main Tumse Pyar Karta hoon.’ But if you are a female then, ‘Main Tumse Pyar Kartee hoon.’
(Note: In general, most masculine verbs in Hindi end with "a", where most feminine end with "ee". Thus, if you're a male, you use the masculine verb "karta", rather than the feminine verb "kartee" in the phrase above.)
Just say ‘Dhanyavāda or Shukriyā’.
