Hi there,
Follow the steps below :
Practice basic greetings. “Hello” and “Goodbye” are the same word in Hindi, “namaste”, pronounced nuh-MUS-stay. Often, you will greet someone with “namaste” at the beginning of a conversation or as a casual greeting when you meet them in passing.
“Good morning” in Hindi is “Suprabhaat”, and “Good evening” in Hindi is “Shub sundhyaa”. But no one uses these words. Everyone says the english goodmorning and good evening only. “Welcome” in Hindi is “Aapka swaagath hai!”
2. Study the days of the week. Practice the days of the week to expand your Hindi vocabulary. It can help you to hear the days of the week pronounced by a fluent speaker, which can be found here:
Sunday: RaveevaaR
Monday: SomvaaR
Tuesday: MangalvaaR
Wednesday: BudvaaR
Thursday: guRoovaaR
Friday: shukRavaaR
Saturday: shaneevaaR
You can also practice saying “yesterday”, which is “kal”; today, which is “aaj”; Day, which is “dhin”; Night, which is “raath”.
3. Recite the numbers in Hindi. Another easy to learn list is the numbers 1-20 in Hindi. Learning the numbers can be a good way to expand your vocabulary further and get comfortable with the sounds of Hindi words.
Zero: shunya/sifer
One: eyk
Two: dho
Three: theen
Four: chaar
Five: paanch
Six: chey
Seven: saath
Eight: aat
Nine: now
Ten:dhas
Eleven: gyaaRah
Twelve: baaRah
Thirteen: teyRah
Fourteen: chowdhah
Fifteen: pandhRaah
Sixteen: solah
Seventeen: sathRah
Eighteen: ataaRaah
Nineteen: unnees
Twenty: bees
4. Practice saying “what’s your name?” Once you feel comfortable with Hindi words, you may try out simple phrases like “what’s your name?”, which is “Aap ka nam kya hai?”, pronounced “aap kaa NAAM kya hai.”
You can also learn how to respond when someone asks you your name in Hindi by saying, “My name is…” or “Mera nam...hein”, pronounced “MAY-ra naam...hay.” For example, if your name is Rafiq, you may say, “Mera naam Rafiq hein.”
5. Learn how to say “how are you?”. To keep your Hindi conversations going, you may then ask “how are you?” or “Aap kaisey hain?” pronounced “aap KAY-se hain.”
You may then respond to the question with “I’m fine, thanks!” or “Mein theek hoon, shukriya!”
You can also practice saying “thank you” or “Dhanya vaad”, pronounced “DUN-y e vaad.” You can respond when someone thanks you in Hindi by saying “your welcome” or “Shukriyaa.”
Try the phrases in a short back and forth conversation. Once you feel comfortable with several words and phrases in Hindi, you may want to string them together in a short back and forth conversation with a fluent friend or a language partner. You can also practice conversational Hindi on your own. An example conversation may be:
“Namaste!” (or “Arrey, Dost!” which is “Hi friend!”, a less formal greeting)
“Namaste!”
“Aap kaisey hain?” (How are you?)
“Mein theek hoon, shukriya! Aur aap?” (I’m good, thanks. And you?)
“Theek-thaak.” (Good)
“Alvida!” (Good bye!)
“Namaste!” (Bye!)
These basic usages will take you a long way for now.
Hope this helps,
However let me be honest, there are no short cuts to learning a language.
Happy speaking in hindi!
