Hindi Language Program Objective

The Boston Language Institute, New England’s leading language school, offers Hindi language courses to individuals and companies. The quality of instruction provided in our Hindi language classes are on a par with the best native Hindi language school.

We consider it to be the major goal of our program to have you use Hindi in as large a variety of real-life situations as possible. To that end, our Hindi courses have been designed to build fluency in both the spoken and the written language. Communication in a warm and relaxed environment is an important feature of our programs, as is homework, which includes exercises for review and practice of the material taught in class. Moreover, by keeping the class size limited to twelve students, we ensure that each student will be able to actively participate.

Hindi Level 1
Introduces both the spoken and written language and aims to provide beginning students with a practical command of the language. Proper pronunciation and the development of conversational proficiency are emphasized. Students also learn to read and write the Hindi script and gain proficiency by reading and writing simple texts. Upon completion of this course, students can expect to be able to greet others appropriately and to participate in basic conversations about everyday activities. Topics include simple sentence structure, interrogatives, personal pronouns, imperatives and the simple present tense.

Hindi Level 2
Upon completion of Level Two, students should be able to engage in more sophisticated conversations on a range of everyday topics. Building upon the basic skills studied in Level One, students learn topics including possessive pronouns, ordinal numbers, expressions of quantity, the emphatic particle, and the continuous, imperfect present and future tenses.

Text and Supplementary Materials

Since communication in a foreign language requires an understanding of the cultural context, our aim is to teach you the living language through carefully selected textbooks, newspaper and magazine articles and other relevant materials, rather than have you repeat and memorize tourist phrases.

Our teachers usually provide suggestions for texts and supplementary materials before the beginning of a program, both group and private.  Also, our on-line bookstore specializing in foreign language textbooks, study guides and audiocassettes, is a good source for browsing and choosing study materials.

Tuition for the Hindi group program at all levels is $649. There is a non-refundable $35 registration fee for first-time students only.
