Many families come to us for Hindi lessons in order to deepen their child’s connection to their cultural heritage, and so they’ll speak the family’s mother tongue.
But there are so many reasons to learn Hindi!
The native language of around 260 million people worldwide, with approximately 120 million additional second-language speakers, Hindi is the 4th most popular language in the world, just behind English, Spanish, and Mandarin, and just ahead of Arabic. India has many, many languages, but Hindi is the most commonly spoken; it’s not the national language, but one of the 22 official languages of India. Hindi is also nearly identical to Urdu, which is spoken by 170 million people across Pakistan and India.
Grammatically quite similar to English, Hindi is considered relatively easy to learn.
Hindi boasts a rich literary history, as well as being the main language in the enormous and thriving Bollywood film industry.
India is full of wonderful experiences for travelers. It is well known for warm hospitality, and an incredible variety of delicious foods; the world’s most famous – and possibly most beautiful – building, the Taj Mahal. It’s famous for immense natural beauty including the majestic Himalayas, the Ganga River, incredible wildlife, vast, varied, and colorful countryside best seen by train; the magnificence of the cities of the Golden Triangle: Delhi, Jaipur and Agra; its many cultural and religious festivals, and so much more.
