INDIVIDUAL HINDI 1-on-1 INSTRUCTION AVAILABLE: ALL LEVELS
Our Introductory Hindi language courses begin with a focus on learning the Devanāgarī (देवनागरी) script and basic conversation, proper pronunciation, beginning grammar and vocabulary. Subsequent Terms reinforce Hindi literacy, and focus on grammar, conversation and vocabulary. Intermediate level courses focus on continued ability to read, write and converse, and offer additional grammar and vocabulary. In addition to using our Instructor’s own course textbook, our Intermediate and Advanced Hindi courses also make use of children’s short stories, Hindi film songs and poetry to help you continue your Hindi learning journey.
EarthDiverse currently offers the following Hindi language classes on a rotating and evolving basis, with new intakes of students in Hindi 101 beginning twice a year, in Term 1 (February) and again in Term 3 (July-August). 101 and 103 courses are offered in Terms 1 and 3 each year, and 102 and 104 courses are offered in Terms 2 & 4 each year. If you have some elementary understanding, you may consider starting in a 102 or 103 course as well. When completing one 8-week course, each cohort can begin advancing to the next course in the series.
