Learn Hindi your way with a TakeLessons expert

Evolved from Sanskrit, the language of yoga, Hindi is spoken today by around 366 million people. It is the fourth most commonly spoken language in the world. Although India's people speak 23 total languages, Hindi is the country's official tongue.

This phonetic language (words sound how they're spelled) will treat anyone who learns it to a rich world of art, philosophy, sacred texts, poetry, and music. Students of Hindi will love being able to access Indian culture while taking in the color and excitement of Bollywood films and savoring delicious Indian cuisine.

The Wonders of Taking Hindi Classes in Los Angeles

Sure, Southern California might seem like a far cry from the Saffron and spices of India, but Los Angeles has its own tiny piece of India tucked away. On Pioneer Boulevard near the very southern edge of Los Angeles County, Hindi students can immerse themselves in Indian culture in Little India, also called the International Cultural District.

In Little India, all of your senses can explore. Taste the unique flavors at Jay Bharat Restaurant and then take them home after stopping by Saffron Spot. Fill your home with Indian inspiration in the form of textiles procured at Cottage Art. Then pop into the Bollywood Music and Gift Shop where you can find Indian music, movies, games, instruments, traditional jewelry, slippers, and more.

Just a few minutes north of the International Cultural District, you can even visit two Hindu temples, Sanatan Dharma Temple and Shree Swaminarayan Temple. You’re welcome to observe prayers, offerings, and rituals, but remember that it’s customary and polite to remove your shoes before entering.
