‘Hindi is not easy': American woman's fluent Hindi stuns internet, shares tips for mastering the language
Kristen Fischer, who has spent the last four years in India, recently posted a video on Instagram that's grabbing attention not just for her fluency, but also for her practical tips on how others can learn the language too.
In the clip, which has already crossed 78,000 views, Fischer speaks fluent Hindi and wrote in the caption, 'Hindi is not an easy language to learn. It takes time and effort.' She then shares four key strategies that helped her over the years.
She emphasises grammar as the most challenging and essential part of learning the language. 'Find a good grammar coach, book, or resource. It makes all the difference,' she says.
Fischer credits her success to online classes and the GPA (Growing Participator Approach) method, calling it the 'fastest and most effective way to learn any language.' Another tip? Complete immersion. 'Spend time with a native speaker who doesn't know English. That way, you'll be forced to speak Hindi in real situations,' she advises.
While she now speaks the language with ease, Fischer reminds learners that it's a slow process. 'Hindi takes at least 2–3 years to get comfortable with. I studied for five years before I felt confident. Just keep going and don't give up.'
The video has struck a chord with many viewers, with social media users praising her dedication and encouraging others to follow her lead.
A user wrote, 'Wow Kristen, your Hindi is amazing! Great going.'
Another user asked, 'I am amazed at your fluency and the diction. Fab job. What is GPA method?'
'In a world too often divided by differences, your embrace of Hindi is truly admirable. It is a powerful gesture that transcends boundaries and connects hearts. Wishing you continued success and discovery on this beautiful linguistic journey,' the third user wrote on Instagram.

From going public with their romance to sudden social media changes, fans are now questioning whether the two have quietly ended their relationship. The biggest shock? A strange rumor involving Cardi B's hygiene that has taken over social media. Cardi B responds to BBL smell rumor after Stefon Diggs Instagram removal In May 2025, Cardi B and Stefon Diggs were first seen together as a couple during a New York Knicks game. The rapper and the New England Patriots wide receiver looked happy, and fans began following their relationship closely.

Saina Nehwal divorce: Olympic medallist badminton star announces separation with Parupalli Kashyap; 'life takes us...'
Saina Nehwal, Indian badminton star made an announcement of separation from her husband, Parupalli Kashyap, on Sunday (July 13). She shared the news with an emotional Instagram post which have sent shockwaves through the sporting world. Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap's relationship began on the badminton courts, where their shared passion for the sport blossomed into love. The couple dated for over a decade. They tied the knot almost seven years ago on December 14, 2018, in a private ceremony. Kashyap's transition from a fellow player to Saina's coach symbolized their deep trust and mutual respect, making their partnership a unique one in the world of sports. The dynamics between Saina and Kashyap were more than just romantic, their professional partnership inspired many. Kashyap's role as Saina's coach was particularly significant after 2016, when injuries began to take a toll on her career. He was often seen courtside, offering advice and emotional support during domestic tournaments and international qualifiers. A standout moment came in 2019 when Saina, under Kashyap's guidance, defeated an in-form PV Sindhu at the National Championships, showcasing her resilience and their effective collaboration. In her Instagram story, Saina wrote, 'Life takes us in different directions sometimes. After much thought and consideration, Kashyap Parupalli and I have decided to part ways. We're choosing peace, growth, and healing - for ourselves and each other. I'm grateful for the memories and wish nothing but the best moving forward. Thank you for understanding and respecting our privacy during this time.' Saina Nehwal's post Saina Nehwal made history as the first Indian badminton player to win an Olympic medal, securing a bronze at the 2012 London Olympics. This achievement placed her alongside weightlifter Karnam Malleshwari as one of only two Indian women to win an Olympic medal at the time. Saina's illustrious career also includes two World Championship medals (one gold and one silver), three Commonwealth Games gold medals (singles in 2010 and 2018, and mixed team in 2010), and two Asian Games bronze medals (2014 and 2018). In 2015, she became the first Indian woman to achieve the world no. 1 ranking in badminton. However, Saina's results were inconsistent in her later years, with her last professional match played in June 2023. While she has not officially announced her retirement, her focus has shifted away from competitive play. Parupalli Kashyap is one of India's finest former badminton players. With a career-high world ranking of 6, Kashyap showcased his prowess by winning the men's singles gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and a bronze in the 2010 Delhi edition. After retiring from competitive play, Kashyap transitioned into coaching.
