Start Hindi: Learn Hindi with the Michel Thomas Method
Learn over 50 essential words at the heart of Hindi and how to put them together to make yourself understood. This 2-hour basic introduction to Hindi with the Michel Thomas Method will get you speaking the language immediately: no books, no pens, no memorizing - just listen, connect and speak.
How does it work?
During the course, you will join Michel Thomas teacher Akshay Bakaya and two students in a live lesson, hearing both their successes and their mistakes to keep you motivated and involved throughout the course. Within the very first hour you will be able to construct simple phrases by listening and thinking out answers for yourself without the pressure of writing or memorizing.
Why is the method so successful?
The Michel Thomas Method was perfected over 50 years by celebrated psychologist and linguist Michel Thomas. This unique method works with your brain and draws on the principles of instructional psychology. Knowledge is structured and organised so that you assimilate the language easily and don't forget it. The method breaks down the language into building blocks that are introduced sequentially in such a way that you create your response and move on to ever-more-complex sentences. You'll stick with it because you'll love it.
Where do I go next?
Start Hindi provides two hours of introduction to the language with the Michel Thomas Method. The Total course will be available soon. Please check back regularly.

It's a CD. Made it easy to practice during my commute. I like the style of a classroom setting and there is repetition to reinforce vocabulary already introduced in the lesson. I also appreciated the incorporation of Urdu since the languages are very close and the pronunciation of how locals say certain words like for the word no in Hindi/Urdu.
