I want to learn Hindi

[Da_Kunar_Ghro]

Can anyone teach me Hindi because I want to move to India.

[Master Khan]

isn't hindi like Urdu?

[afghan]

its very easy to learn hindi. just add Karo or kia to any english word. example hindi learn kia, prayer karo...... you will be ok

[IamDZJ]

learn urdu. it's a lot more beneficial and similar to dari and pashto. reading it would be easier too because of their script.

[Michin Khel]

Watch bollywood movies.

[Master Khan]

just speak english in a indian accent and that will do.

[Mayana]

do you also want to be a Hindu?? thats a joke.

Are you Christian because you are typing this in English?

As for the topic - Urdu would probably be easier for you to pick up here, and when you move there, you can pick up the few terms that are different in the local accent. I don't think pure Hindi without any Urdu terms and only Sanskrit terms is used anywhere where you'd need it. =/

Is Urdu and Hindi the same? I alreday know Urdu.

Nice Feroza! I guess Bollywood and Ekta Kapoor's soaps are at work here.

@DKG - Urdu and Hindi are 95% same. They have a common base, a language called Hindustani that developed in Northern India. Urdu speakers mix a few Persian/Arabic words into Hindustani to make it Urdu, whereas Hindi speakers mix Sanskrit words into Hindustani to make it Hindi.

LOL thanks... ! but no, I finished my grade school in Pakistan. I grew up there... attended school for 10 years... I am fluent in Urdu than Pashto and Dari...

but the indian soaps are truely very helpful in learning "shudh hindi"... (i.e. the sanskrit part)

I understand shudh hindi very well now. it has got to do with years of watching bollywood movies, and Indian dramas ...

hum prasand hoye (lol i try!)
