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.

36-64 weeks of very intensive training can get it done.
Thanks but i can’t do that . I have so many other things going on right now .
Fair enough, but it’s a data point which you can use to calibrate expectations
The DLI is a US military installation that trains military linguists in the language required by their MOS. You’re not eligible to go even if you wanted to. As well, it’s intensive: eight hours of language class a day (plus homework), five days a week, for the entire duration, and it still requires between months to over a year depending on the course.
What you asked for is basically impossible, and if it’s not impossible for you then you don’t need anyone else’s help.
Did i say it’s not impossibke for me . I just wanted to pass a test so asked for some tips in a sub built for asking things .
