Study

Hindi language

The long-running Bhasha Bharati Language Institute (tel/>2420447; www.bhashabharati.com), near Chowk police station, runs Hindi-language courses. Thirty-hour courses cost Rs 200 per person per hour for one-on-one lessons that emphasise speaking and listening. A family homestay can be arranged (US$300 per week including lessons and meals), which is probably best for learning the language quickly.
