I’m from a Tamil family, so we don’t speak Hindi (my dad knows it though). I have wanted to do this.
I’ve applied for a scholarship for Hindi, and hopefully this will come through. I’ll be one more step towards this goal. So far, I’ve been trying to teach it to myself, starting with reading/writing devanagari.

This one is not at the top of the list right now, but I don’t want to forget it. I have always wanted to live in India, work in India, and experience the culture firsthand.
Right now, I’m working on Spanish though! So I’ll save this for after.
I picked up Hindi language course.
In Hungary (Budapest) the Indian embassy pays for this.
I began two weeks ago. Still learning the vowels and consonats (actually I already finished) but it has worth it. Good luck for you, too
