Smile Living in Agra

Hi,
My husband and I are thinking of moving to Agra, where he will start a new job. We have been trying to research Agra with a view to what it would be like to live and work in. All we have found so far is orientated towards tourism and short-term stays.

We are aware that it is going to be expensive and full of tourists - does that mean it would be an unpleasant place to live?

Something that we are keen on is learning Hindi, would it be more difficult finding a school teaching Hindi, or being able to practise our tentative languare skills.

Any general info anyone has on where we might find out more about living in Agra would be great. We have found expatriates.com but haven't fully explored it yet. Are there other good sources of reliable info?
thanks

The Agra City Guide appears to be a good source of info.
The Official Website is expectedly a compendium of dry figures and statistics.
