Find a Hindi language exchange partner
Hindi is one of the most spoken languages in the world and is closely related to Urdu; in everyday speech the two are often mutually understandable. Partners can help you with Bollywood slang, polite forms and the Devanagari script.
Where Hindi is spoken
Hindi is spoken in India (where it is an official language alongside English) and in communities worldwide. On Palavra you can filter partners by country to hear a specific accent, or mix regions to hear the variety.

Tips for learning Hindi with a partner
- Devanagari is phonetic: once you know the letters, you can read words aloud.
- Nouns have gender, and verbs often agree with it. Ask for corrections.
- Hindi uses postpositions (after the noun) instead of prepositions: "ghar meṅ" = in the house.
- Use आप (āp) for polite "you" and तुम (tum) with friends.
How a Hindi exchange works on Palavra
- Match: list Hindi as a language you're learning. Native Hindi speakers learning your language appear as "perfect matches".
- Split the time: a fair exchange is half in each language. Many partners alternate days or messages.
- Post Moments in Hindi: native speakers correct them publicly and kindly, so everyone learns from the fix.
- Send voice notes: pronunciation is where a real partner helps most.
- Write a slow letter: long-form writing builds vocabulary that chat doesn't.
