How learning online works with Berlitz
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
The short answer to this question is yes! Hindi and Urdu are variations of the same language, known as “Hindustani”. A speaker of Urdu and a speaker of Hindi would be able to have a conversation and understand each other, therefore are mutually intelligible.
However, each language has its own separate writing script, which means a Hindi speaker reading Urdu wouldn’t understand the words if they didn’t know Urdu script - and vice versa.
Our proven language immersion technique, the Berlitz method will get you speaking fluently, fast, from day one. You can also try extracurricular activities such as watching Urdu news, Bollywood films, and listening to songs in Urdu, to help immerse yourself in Urdu speaking.
