I am planning to go to india for studies (and maybe job ) but to do that i have to pass an exam . Don't get me wrong i am not excepting to ace the test by studying under a month ( while studying a whole lot of other subjects too ) I just want to (barely) pass . And i suppose living there would require hindi aswell because most people there won't . I tried duolingo aldready and it didn't do it for me for s couple of reasons:

  • They ( even i know this) spells a lot of letters wrong .

  • Seems too cash graby and justifying it as a game .

  • Overall i didn't like their way of teaching .

  • It seems like there isn't a person behind it you know too artificial .

  • And even though i selected the options for a complete noob they are expecting me to know lot of things .

Sorry if it turned into a rant . Thanks in advance for the answers . Also i didn't know where else to ask if there is an alternate more suitable sub just point me in that direction and i will move the post.ciao.

30 days does not seem like enough time to become fluent in any language.

Hit up your local library, Rosetta Stone has library partnerships and you can take their programs for free through the library.
