Boppadoo

What language would be best to learn for travel in India?

I have just been offered the opportunity to live in India for a year, working in a small village. I have never been to India or any other country in the middle east, but I would like to be prepared if I go. I would like to start getting a grasp of the languages in India now, while I have time to develop a beginner's understanding.

What is the most useful language to learn while living in India? I am willing to learn anything...and if you know a good resource, that's even more fantastic.

Thank so much!

Hindi is spoken by almost everybody as it is the official language. Also , most peole would understand English as it is an additional official language.

There are many regional languages in India, but the most common ones are Assamese, Bengali and Gujarati.

I would buy some self help books which can be found in the languages section of any book store and/ or employ a private tutor.

Hope that helped
Take care

HINDI is the national language of India and English is the official language. Majority of the people in India can understand Hindi. It is widely spoken language anywhere in India. but it make a difference as if you are working in a village, then some villagers may not understand hindi at that time you can learn their local language too.

In India there are many language and people speak different languages in different parts of India. For example, the language in Tamil Nadu is Tamil, Malayalam in Kerala, Kannada in Karnataka, Telugu in Andhra Pradesh, Hindi in North India, Marathi in Maharashtra etc. English can be used as a common language in all parts. If you are planning to live in Mumbai, Delhi or other northern States, Hindi will be most useful. However, if hyou are planning to stay in SDouth india, English will be better

India is sub-continent of people (> 1 billion) who speak different languages and follow different religions. Most of them know (broken) English or Hindi. It is useless to learn Hindi if you are going to the southern or eastern part of the country. It is useless to learn regional language of one state, if you go to another state. So stick to English.
The British were here for two and a half centuries!
