This subject is taught intensively by a La Trobe University staff member over six weeks during January and February in a Hindi speaking town in India. It is a consolidation of the language skills learned at first year. Students will be encouraged to acquire fluency in spoken Hindi through informal contact with native Hindi speakers in addition to extensive formal classroom instruction. Informal contact is arranged by inviting local citizens, particularly students, to the classroom. Students are responsible for their own expenses.
