Future generations will remember August 2023 as pivotal. Several game-changing events took place during that month, two of which raised India's profile on the world stage. On the economic side, the BRICS alliance more than doubled its membership.
You might know that BRICS stands for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Since 2009, these nations' leaders have worked to bring economic development and opportunities to the global south. Many see India as a BRICS wildcard because of its ties to the US and friction with China.
Speculation over BRICS doings had barely begun when news of India's Chandrayaan moon landing captured all the headlines. This feat made India one of only four nations to engineer such a deed. Suddenly, India took centre stage in discussions around the world.
None of this means you must learn how to speak Hindi or be left behind. Only that many people are waking up to India's wonders, not the least of which are dramatic global footprints. From Perth to Sydney and all around Australia, learners are looking for Hindi lessons. To help you get started, Superprof presents the best Hindi lessons in Perth.
Hindi Lessons in a Language School
In Australia, we're lucky to have several language school franchises like Listen and Learn. This language school operates from its base in Melbourne and has outlets across the country, including in Perth. They've developed a series of Hindi lessons to meet any language learner's goals.
Let's say you have a mate from India studying at the University of Western Australia. They are from Gujarat and their descriptions of life in their homeland have set your soul afire. You want to make the most of the visit you're planning after graduation. So you'll ask Listen & Learn about conversational Hindi language lessons.
An international trader might take Business Hindi classes so they can meet their clients and trading partners with confidence. A yoga devotee may plan an extended stay in India to learn their discipline. A medical student could take Hindi courses ahead of finishing their medical studies in India. This language school Has Hindi tutors for every need.
Finding any brick-and-mortar Hindi language classrooms in Perth is harder than locating Hindi lessons in other Australian cities. We can't discount the University of Western Australia, though. Their Asian Studies programs don't offer language courses but they give us a peek into Asian cultural studies, including Indian cultures. From there, it's no hard stretch to jump into language learning.
A Hindi Tutor Near Me
Language Trainers offers as wide a variety of Hindi courses as Listen and Learn does. However, they don't have a facility they teach languages from in Perth. These Trainers rely on Hindi tutors scattered throughout the city. Even the Multicultural Language Centre doesn't keep a Hindi teacher on staff. But they're happy to arrange private or small group lessons for you and perhaps make a learning space available for your lessons.
The Vocational Language Learning Centre (VLLC) is equally at a loss with Hindi despite the long list of languages they teach. Like Multicultural, they will find you a Hindi tutor who meets their teaching criteria. Both of these language learning initiatives screen their teachers for knowledge of the language as well as teaching experience.
Their efforts take the pressure off of you to find the best Hindi tutor for your needs and goals. Often, when learners set out to study a new language, they're unsure of which language aspects might be the most critical. For instance, languages with grammar structures similar to English would be easier for a native English speaker to learn.
Hindi is grammatically similar to English so looking for a Hindi tutor who emphasises grammar instruction would be pointless. By contrast, Hindi pronunciation and writing are unlike your native language. So a Hindi tutor that promotes those skills in their adverts would be more beneficial.
When you search for a 'Hindi tutor near me', you run the risk of 'unnecessary' tutoring in less important language aspects. You may also have a hard time verifying any tutors' credentials. That's why it's a good idea to contact a certified language centre like VLLC. They can direct you to local Hindi tutors with vetted credentials.
With all that said, scouring the internet for 'Hindi tutor near me', presents an obvious solution to learning this language. Online Hindi lessons are as close to you as any lessons can be. You may choose your online Hindi tutor based on preferences that suit your situation the best. You may schedule your lessons around your other commitments; even during the evening, if that works best for you.
You might need a Hindi tutor to help you prepare for an official language exam like Avant STAMP. This exam uses audio and cultural texts from India to measure your level of Hindi proficiency. So revising with a native speaker of Hindi who lives in India would work well for you because they would have access to a trove of such materials.
When my mate in Brisbane was searching for Hindi lessons, ventures like italki and Amazing Talker topped their list of hits. There's a good chance that you will find the same results. On one hand, it's great to have such a marketplace of Hindi tutors to choose from. On the other, choosing from so many tutors can be hard, especially when you only have a bit of information to make your decision with.
One to One Hindi Lessons with Superprof
The Amazing Talker platform is a bit complicated because you must click through all of the site's filters and read promotional materials. Talker asks if you want to learn Conversational Hindi, Beginner Hindi or just to focus on reading the Devanagari script. You may ask for more options if those language learning aspects don't suit your needs.
Once you've cleared those hurdles, you land on a page with a list of Hindi tutors. Those profiles are presented in no particular order. To learn more about any Hindi tutor, you must click on their profile. Only then can you access the information that's important to you.
Compare that process with Superprof's straightforward process. On the Superprof homepage, you select 'Hindi' from the 'What do you want to learn today?' pulldown menu. In the next field, type in your location. You may also select 'Online' or 'Around me'.
The next page delivers tutors' pictures, each with a mini-bio. You can see at a glance whether the tutor is a native Hindi speaker and whether they give lessons in person, online or both. You also find out if they have any experience teaching Hindi and how much they charge per lesson. And whether they offer their first lesson free.
Superprof tutors know that your time and money are precious. They also know hard to learn anything from a mentor you don't click with. Having a 'get to know you' session free of charge makes it easier for you to decide that you've found the right tutor for you. It helps the tutor decide if they can meet your needs, too.
Unfortunately, Superprof has more Hindi tutors in Adelaide than in Perth. But our Perth Hindi tutors are just as enthusiastic and qualified to teach you this amazing language. Did we tell you that Superprof also verifies all of their tutors' credentials before their profiles go live?
You might find Hindi lessons with Superprof Tanya. She is a native speaker of Hindi who moved to Perth in 2018 to pursue her university studies. She gained experience tutoring while working towards her degree. Now graduated, Tanya gives Hindi lessons in her home, at yours or in a public location convenient to you both. She also offers Hindi lessons online.
Aarushi is the Superprof Hindi tutor for you if you want to focus on conversational Hindi. She too is a native Hindi speaker, now living in Hillarys. Aarushi developed her teaching style while tutoring Hindi to children aged 10 to 15, a feat that demonstrates her deep well of patience. Her lessons focus on vocabulary and learning standard phrases.
Like Tanya, Aarushi offers lessons at her home or yours, a convenient public location and online. But if you're going to take online lessons, why not cast a wider net? Superprof has more than 15,000 Hindi tutors around the world.
That's more apt than you might think. Hindi isn't only the language of India. People in Afghanistan, Bhutan and Bangladesh, Pakistan and Nepal also speak Hindi. If you have one or more of those countries in your travel sights, learning how to speak Hindi with a tutor living there would help you. They can describe the culture and way of life, and teach you the language quirks that make Hindi their own language.
Or you may prefer learning Hindi with a Superprof Language Ambassador. These are teachers with long experience and proven track records of helping their students reach their language learning goals. You can find these masters at the top of the Superprof Hindi 'Online' page.
