Introduction

India is home to many languages. Hindi and English are widely used, and millions of people also speak Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil and other languages. That variety makes video chats with people from India fun: every city and region has its own food, festivals and way of speaking.

Easy greetings

  • Namaste – a common Hindi greeting.
  • Kaise ho? – "How are you?" in casual Hindi.
  • Vanakkam – a greeting in Tamil.
  • Dhanyavaad – "thank you" in Hindi.

Conversation starters

  • Ask which city or state they're from.
  • Ask about a favorite local dish; food changes a lot from region to region.
  • Cricket, films and music are easy topics.
  • Ask about a festival they enjoy, such as Diwali or Holi.

Tips

  • Don't assume everyone speaks Hindi; ask which language they prefer.
  • English often works well as a shared language.
  • Keep the first chat light and friendly, and say goodbye politely if they want to move on.
