‘Hindi is not easy': American woman's fluent Hindi stuns internet, shares tips for mastering the language
An American content creator living in India has gone viral for her impressive command of Hindi, and the internet can't get enough. 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.

Watch: NRIs recreate Ganga Aarti on Canadian riverbank, stir mixed reactions online
In a heartfelt tribute to Indian traditions, members of the Indian diaspora in Canada recently organised a grand Ganga Aarti along the banks of the Credit River in Mississauga. The event, reminiscent of the iconic rituals held in Varanasi, Rishikesh and Haridwar, brought together scores of devotees dressed in traditional attire. The ceremony was hosted by Radio Dhishum and attended by Consul Sanjeev Saklani from the Indian Consulate in Toronto. The consulate shared glimpses of the event on X, calling it a 'soulful evening of divine chants and pious mantras.' 'Consul Sanjeev Saklani represented the Consulate at the Ganga Aarti… organised by Team @RadioDhishum,' the post read, along with several pictures capturing the spiritual fervour of the evening. One of the attendees, Instagram user Priyanka Gupta, shared a video that has now gone viral. 'In all my 10 years in Canada, this was the most magical evening,' she wrote. 'Not on the ghats of Varanasi or Haridwar, but right here in Canada.' 'Living abroad doesn't mean letting go of who we are. The soulful chants of 'Har Har Gange' echoed across the park,' she added, describing the experience as a moving slice of India brought to life far from home. However, the video sparked mixed reactions online. While many praised the community for keeping Indian traditions alive abroad, some questioned whether such rituals could affect the local environment, with concerns raised about potential pollution of the Credit River. 'Happy to see, India and Canada culturally getting connected,' a user commented. 'What a beautiful coverage. We are so overwhelmed hearing this,' another user wrote. However, several users had a different opinion on the video, 'This is a tad bit too much , where is ganga and where is Canada ? We should be religious but at the same time, think where you are, respect their land and country, doing these things there only shows how fragile and religion dependent we Indians are.' 'Aren't you supposed to have Ganga arti on banks of river 'Ganga'? Don't just make fun of anything, looses the value it holds,' another user wrote. 'There is a reason it is called Ganga Aarti. Doing aarti in front of any river doesn't make it Ganga Aarti. If you crave for it so much, return to your own country and do it,' the third user commented.
