hi, guys
does anyone have experience of doing a language learning course in india and in kolkata?
am planning to stay in Kolkata for a month or so,
and think its a good opportunity to learn hindi seriously...
finally after half a year hanging around india ))

What part of Kolkata? Easiest is to have a tutor who comes to the house but if you're a tourist, that's not feasible. There are courses out there, but not sure if 1-month long classes are offered.

Maybe, an okay opportunity but..

Kolkata maybe not the greatest place to find Hindi tuition.

Anyone know of any...possibilities for Hindi tuition in U.P. ?

edwardseco · Oct 23rd, 2009, 23:37

Bjp has it right, it isn't exactly going to be immersion learning in the centre of Bengali culture..

ilgarion · Oct 23rd, 2009, 23:44

i know,
but 'am here and not in delhi..what to do

edwardseco · Oct 24th, 2009, 08:56

So true..

dhapa · Oct 26th, 2009, 23:49

any local would teach u

bjp · Oct 26th, 2009, 23:57

? Me or him?

You must mean me, in U.P.

Yes, I had realised, I will have to ask when I am there. Not really any local, not all are speaking English - not many. But when I am there, I know many people I can ask about it.

I would go to the school in Mussoorie but too cold for me in November, it would mean waiting until April.
