Where is Hindi spoken?

Hindi is a language that has Indo-Aryan origins and is spoken in the Hindi Belt which encompasses northern, central, eastern, and western territories in India. Hindi is written in the Devanagari script which was developed in ancient India from the 1st to the 4th century and was in regular use by the 7th century. Hindi is one of the two official languages of the Government of India, along with English. It is an official language in 9 states and 3 union territories and an additional official language in 3 other states. Hindi is spoken outside the Hindi Belt but to a lesser degree. And some varieties of Hindi are spoken outside of India. For instance, there are languages like Fiji Hindi which has official language status in Fiji. There’s also the Caribbean Hindustani, which is spoken in Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, and Suriname.

Can I learn Hindi by watching movies?

Learning a language is about having a good ear and a good memory. If you are constantly watching movies that are in Hindi, there is a possibility that you’ll pick up some of the languages. This happens because you can get used to listening to the same words, and eventually, you’ll understand what they mean. However, it doesn't mean that if you put on a movie spoken in Hindi, you’ll be able to understand it by the end. But, if you have Hindi lessons with a private tutor or an online course; and you are constantly watching movies or listening to Hindi music, then you’ll learn much quicker because you’ll accustom your brain to being surrounded by Hindi. The key to learning a language is to have it around you constantly. This is the only way to learn and you’ll even learn faster because it won’t seem like something foreign anymore.
