Hindi is one of the most spoken languages in the world, sitting at number 3. It has been influenced by Sanskrit, and written in Devanagari script. Although English and other languages are used to conduct business, Hindi is the official language of India. Many states and regions of India speak in different dialects and learning Hindi can bring you closer to learning about the rich culture and traditions of India.
Cultural Influence of Hindi
Have you ever heard of Bollywood? Or seen any Bollywood movies? Learning Hindi would help you enjoy the great films of this industry. Some of the classics are Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kal Ho Na Ho, and too many others to list. Bollywood movies are known for their songs, dancing and romantic storylines. There are some movies that are filled with action for those who enjoy that genre as well. Learning Hindi would definitely help you enjoy these movies without needing subtitles.
In addition to their vibrant, exciting movies, many musically talented individuals are also from India and produce many beautiful Hindi songs. Some of the famous voices are Lata Mangeshkar, Udit Narayan, Arijit Singh, Shreya Goshal, Atif Aslam, Asha Bhosle, and many many more.

Benefits of Learning Hindi
Knowing how to communicate in Hindi can open many doors careerwise, as a tourist, as students studying different languages or subjects, and even being able to connect with people of the community.
Whether you’re in journalism, business, or healthcare, you encounter people of different nationalities that speak different languages. Guaranteed you will meet at least one other person that speaks Hindi as their first language or their only language. In such a moment, being able to communicate with them in Hindi would be an enriching experience for both you and that person. In healthcare, it can make a world of difference if you are able to speak the only language your patient might be able to communicate in; you wouldn’t need to send for a translator to help so you’d be able to treat them faster.
However, becoming a translator is also another career path that one can embark upon after learning Hindi. At Cudoo, you can learn Hindi online today with our all inclusive Hindi Language Bundle.
