On satisfying the requirements of this subject, students will have the knowledge at an introductory level of Hindi to:
- Recognise and appropriately employ patterns of stress and emphasis in Hindi speech.
- Read and write Hindi with a correct understanding of word formation and an ability to write compound words and verb formations.
- Use an active vocabulary of around 1000 items and a passive vocabulary of 1500 items.
- Understand and be able to use a broad range of sentences, structures, and tenses related to the past, present and future for everyday situations in written and spoken Hindi.
- Communicate in contexts such as the everyday lives of students and Hindi speakers.
- Demonstrate an understanding of how Indian cultures and traditions influence communication.
In order to achieve these learning outcomes, each week students are expected to study for five hours as follows:
- 30 minutes, before class, studying the written and audio materials for the week
- 30 minutes, memorising the written and spoken forms of that week’s class content
- 180 minutes, participate in 2 x 90 minute sessions, via Zoom
- 60 minutes, completing weekly exercises
It is also expected that students should spend at least 5 hours of individual study practising the week’s written and spoken language forms and vocabulary and reviewing feedback on their work.

In this subject students can further develop their listening and reading comprehension skills and oral and written communication skills.

There will be opportunities to learn a range of basic structures, including all the main tenses, which allow learners to understand and speak about a range of situations related to their own everyday life. Contexts covered include talking about likes and dislikes, pass times and occupations, days of the week, telling time, and topics such as talking about the weather.

Single subject FAQs
Single subjects are the individual components that make up a degree. With Open Universities Australia, you’re able to study many of them as stand-alone subjects, including postgraduate single subjects, without having to commit to a degree.
Each of your subjects will be held over the course of a study term, and they’ll usually require 10 to 12 hours of study each week. Subjects are identified by a title and a code, for example, Developmental Psychology, PSY20007.
First, find the degree that you would like to study on our website.
If that degree allows entry via undergraduate subjects, there will be information about this under the Entry Requirements section. You will find a list of 2-4 open enrolment subjects you need to successfully complete to qualify for admission into that qualification.
Once you pass those subjects, you will satisfy the academic requirements for the degree, and you can apply for entry.
