One-to-one General/Business
Hindi Course in Manchester
Whether you're looking to learn a language for personal or business reasons, our tailor-made courses can help you achieve your aims.
While a General Hindi course will provide you with enough linguistic ammunition to allow you to survive a short visit to the country (greetings, basic conversation and a solid grammatical foundation). Business courses are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in Hindi business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.
The exact syllabus is not determined simply in terms of 'General' or 'Business' - the course is tailor-made to your needs. If, as a Business student, you need extra focus on telephone or email communication, or vocabulary from a specific field of business, you only need mention this to your tutor. In the same way, those taking a General course who may need more knowledge of a certain aspect of Hindi need only request it from their teacher.
Typical learners who choose our Business courses are import/export professionals, agents for multi-national companies, and those involved with foreign governments and universities. Our General courses cater for people aiming to purchase overseas property, globetrotters, Hindi language and culture devotees, as well as people who need to pass a particular Hindi exam.

City information
The third biggest city in the UK, Manchester was a vital city during Britain's industrial era, laying claim to being the world's very first industrialised city. With around 2.3 million people in the urban area alone, Manchester continues to be regarded as Britain's second city.
As with most big cities around the country, Manchester's size attracts plenty of overseas visitors, many of whom choose to settle there. This has created a massive cultural variety in the entire borough of Greater Manchester, but particularly in the inner-city areas where there is a high proportion of south Asian, Caribbean, African and Chinese communities. This cosmopolitan experience means the city is a great place to meet people from different backgrounds, and assures you plenty of potential practice partners when you start learning your new language!
Language information
Although it is the official language in only India, Pakistan and Fiji; as many as 500 million people worldwide are native speakers of Hindi. Dating back to the end of the 10th century AD, 'Standard Hindi' is basically a dialect (known as khari boli) which has had vocabulary from Sanskrit introduced to it, and is written using the Devanagari script.
Increasingly in recent years, many speakers of Hindi are also able to speak 'Hinglish', a vernacular language in which Hindi and English are used together. This is mostly heard in highly-populated urban areas, but thanks to the popularity of Bollywood, the use of English in Indian schools and the introduction of cable television, Hinglish is becoming more and more accepted amongst Hindi speakers.
With the huge amount of Indian and Pakistani immigrants found across the UK, Hindi can be heard in many areas of the country, and is an exciting and relatively new language to pick up.

Watch interviews with a few of our teachers, and find out why the best way to learn a new language is with Language Trainers!:
I wanted to learn some Spanish before hiking the Camino de Santiago in Spain this summer. Not only did Jorge cover all the basics with me, but we even went over some maps together, and he made sure I really had all my directions down pat. Now I'll not only be able to find a place to crash, but I'll be able to have a chat with the locals over a bottle of wine, too.
