Hindi

A spoken Hindi course rather than a board subject — conversation first, then the Devanagari script, for children who hear Hindi at home and cannot speak or read it.

The curriculum, grade band by grade band

This is what actually gets taught. The order adapts to your child’s assessment, but the scope does not shrink.

  1. Starting to speak

    Speech before script

    • The sounds of Hindi, including the ones English does not have
    • First two hundred everyday words, learned inside phrases
    • Greetings, asking for things, saying no politely
    • Simple sentences and question forms, said aloud
    • Listening to natural-speed speech without panic

  2. Reading Devanagari

    The script, once there is speech to attach it to

    • Devanagari varnamala, read and written by hand
    • Matras and how they change a syllable
    • Reading aloud the words the student can already say
    • Signs, labels, messages and short notes
    • Typing Hindi on a phone and on a laptop

  3. Holding a conversation

    Using it, not translating it

    • Gender, number and case as a spoken habit
    • Tenses and the common irregular verbs
    • Talking about school, food, family and travel
    • Video calls with relatives, unscripted
    • Reading a short passage unaided

  4. Speaking like yourself

    Fluency, register and culture

    • Register — a grandparent, a cousin and a shopkeeper are three registers
    • Muhavare and everyday idiom, in context
    • Telling a story from beginning to end
    • Following Hindi film, news and songs
    • Writing a paragraph about your own life

The problem this page exists for

Many families who come for Hindi tell the same story. Hindi is spoken at home, partly — often by the parents to each other rather than to the child.

  • Understands, speaks a little, reads nothing

    The child follows a fair amount, says a little, and cannot read a word. Then a grandparent comes to stay, and the gap becomes obvious and slightly painful for everyone.

  • Standard Hindi teaching misses this child

    It assumes the script is already known and the vocabulary was picked up by immersion.

  • The wrong book teaches the wrong lesson

    A twelve-year-old who cannot read Devanagari, dropped into a Grade 7 Hindi textbook, concludes they are bad at their own language.

Hindi here is a spoken language course

It is not an examination subject and follows no board. The goal is not a grade; it is a child who can talk with their own family.

  • Paced like an adult course

    The student is not a small child, and is not taught like one.

  • Speech first

    A student who can already say a sentence has somewhere to attach the script when it arrives.

  • Words from their own life

    School, food, family, travel — and the things they would want to say to a grandparent on a video call.

  • Grammar once it has work to do

    A rule is introduced only once there is enough vocabulary for it to apply to.

The script, in its proper place

Reading and writing Devanagari matter, and every student gets there. They simply do not come first.

  • Words before letters

    A child who learns letters before words spends months decoding sounds that mean nothing to them, and most give up somewhere in that stretch.

  • Slow, then fast

    Progress is slower than parents expect for the first two months, and faster than they expect after that.

  • Reading is the bottleneck

    Once it clears, most students accelerate sharply.

If your school offers Hindi as an examination subject

Then the school’s syllabus is the right thing to follow there, and these classes are not a substitute for it.

  • What these classes add

    The speaking, the listening and the confidence to use the language with people who actually speak it — the part a beginner’s class rarely has time for.

  • Alongside school, not instead

    Families whose child has that gap usually want this course running next to school Hindi rather than replacing it.

Where to start

Book the trial and let me assess. Starting at the right point matters more than anything else on this page.

  • Fifteen minutes is enough

    About fifteen minutes of the trial is enough to hear what a child already understands, what they can say, and whether they can read anything at all.

  • Then the right first class

    The first class starts from what the trial found, not from page one of a textbook.
