Hindi Language Schools in India

Deciding where specifically you want to study is much more than throwing a dart on a map, but owing to India’s colossal size, you probably wouldn’t miss. A couple of hotspots are renowned for offering quality Hindi classes with a range of study options, but you’ll find study buddies and adventurous allies a-plenty wherever you go!

New Delhi, India’s buzzing capital, is home to a host of language schools — perfect if you want to learn to speak Hindi. Delhi will offer you plenty of opportunities to practice your skills in its sprawling markets and tantalizing restaurants. Be sure to learn some foodie vocab so that you can taste the flavors of the city (and maybe order a glass of water on the side for those slightly too spicy surprises). The hybrid of intriguing cultures in this bustling metropolis has resulted in a wealth of cultural sites to explore. Take time out from studying to visit some of the magnificent temples, like the Lotus or Hare Krishna. As the capital, the city is also well connected by air, road, and rail to the rest of the country, making it an ideal base for further exploration.

If Delhi isn’t your cup of chai tea, you’ll find plenty of those in the Himalayan city of Dehradun, another Hindi school attendee favorite. Nestled comfortably between the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, this picturesque city offers a cooler, more comfortable climate, and a smaller, more navigable introduction to India. You won’t be short of options when it comes to language schools, meaning you won’t be short of friends to study and explore with either. Due to its geographical location, the city is an adventurer's paradise, well connected for hiking, kayaking, climbing, rafting and other outdoor sports with a stunning backdrop. Don’t forget to put those Hindi skills into practice as you visit local museums, temples, and cultural sites around town as well.

Calcutta, the former capital of British India, with colonial architecture that will transport you back to the “days of the Raj.” Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a city of old traditions and history alone; it is, in fact, a modern hub of culture and art driven by forward-thinking, younger members of the city’s “millennial” population. Learning Hindi in this “city of contrasts” will offer you the linguistic key-code to explore the rapidly-developing India of today. You’ll find plenty of places to socialize and practice your Hindi skills after class — be sure to experience the contemporary night scene and befriend some of the locals to learn more about this intriguing city and modern Indian culture overall.
