Course Description
This is our second level of Hindi courses in Varanasi and Madurai. The intermediate level is meant for those learners who posses some basic knowledge of Hindi, or who have completed our first level of Hindi crash course or the equivalent.
This course is centered on the Devanagari script and grammar with a focus on different language constructions. We emphasize different forms of verbs, including different conjugations and the use of nouns, oblique pronouns and simple post positions with different verbs. After completing this course a student will enhance their writing speed, their speed in reading the Devanagari script, and their speaking ability.
The intermediate level works well either one-on-one or in a group. Either way, it will help the learner become more confident in speaking, writing and reading, as the course includes all of these components. We also draw on exercise work, practice conversation and role play.
For this course, we recommend using a text book and various other resources. Please see below for more.
