Venture Hindi Course

Description:

Venture English Institute is about more than just English. We are a Language Institute with a great staff capable of teaching a variety of Native Indian languages as well. We currently offer a 1 year Hindi program that seeks to give learners an incredible immersion experience by utilizing qualified Hindi teachers as well as creating lessons that cause learners to experience the living city of Varanasi.

Location:

1247.jpgT.R.S. Venture is located in the ancient city of Varanasi where Indian culture and customs are still strongly observed. Locals rarely know or use English and the preferred language is Hindustani. This makes Varanasi the perfect place for learning Hindi and more about Indian culture and traditions.

hindi letters.jpgOur Hindi program is an intense course that requires a minimum 30 hours per week and includes daily meetings with a tutor for instruction, practice and pronunciation as well as weekly assignments for community involvement, and conversation as wells reading and writing assignments. We emphasize situational Hindi giving learners the language they need to function in society. This means we start with practical Hindi such as: how to introduce oneself, how to buy groceries and catch a cycle rickshaw to the local market. As students progress in their practical and situational Hindi we begin to introduce grammar and the other tools necessary for students to make their own sentences. By the end of the course students should function at a high A2 or B1 level of Hindi.
