Hindi is a language that is spoken in several different countries throughout South Asia, and it is one of the official languages in India. If you want to be a world traveler, or if you are just interested in expanding your mind and discovering more about a new culture, then learning to speak Hindi might be the right decision for you. People who only speak English can have a little trouble with Hindi, but there are enough similarities between the languages that you should be able to learn it with hard work, dedication and the right resources.
