4 Reasons to Learn Hindi
LOVE 🤍
When you are in love you would very much wish to communicate in your partner's language when the partner is a foreign language speaker. You would wish to know about the partner's culture, country, tradition etc. And language is the best plausible way to go about it.
BUSINESS 👩💼
India has become one of the favorite destinations for businesses to expand to in South East Asia. Learning Hindi could give you an edge over your colleagues in your professional sphere because of this. Also, you might impress your Indian colleagues ;-)
TRAVEL ✈
Although India has a high population of English speaking/understanding residents which wouldn't make it exactly hard for you to navigate through the country, learning the local language would give you an upper hand where you wouldn't need to rely on anyone. While English will give you complete access to the urban parts, knowledge of Hindi will open up the streets for you. Discovering them will give you richer experience of India.
FUN 😎
Hindi is easy to learn as it has borrowed quite a few words from English like 'bus', 'hospital', 'police' etc.. In the same way, English has also borrowed some words like 'Bungalow' or 'Jungle' from Hindi. Basic English words are understood by most people as well. Due to this, you already have a vocabulary base before you even start to learn Hindi. All you need to pick up is basic Hindi and keep integrating English words on the way!
