• Here are the ways to learn Hindi if you are from Kerala

It is not common for Kerala people to speak Hindi as the native language is Malayalam and English is also used. However, most of my people from Kerala will learn some Hindi in school, and by watching Bollywood movies, and can easily understand conversational Hindi and follow the conversations almost easily.

• Study the Hindi vowels 

Hindi has 11 vowels, symbols added to the letters of an alphabet in order to show different pronunciations. These vowels have two forms: one form is used by themselves, and another form is used when the vowel is joined to a consonant in a word.

• Study the Hindi consonants

There are 33 consonants and these are organized in the alphabet by how you use your throat to pronounce them. As Hindi has more consonants than English, some of them have no direct equivalent meaning in English.

• Differentiate between “voiced” and “unvoiced” consonants

Consonants in Hindi have two different ways of pronouncing them as voiced and unvoiced. Learning the explanation for these pronunciations may be a little complicated, but once you start trying to practice the sounds, you will be able to feel the difference between  “voiced” and “unvoiced” consonants.

• Listen to Hindi audio

Hear the recording of the Hindi alphabet and then try to mimic the recording that you heard. The Hindi alphabet may look a little trickier to you, especially if you are a native Malayalam speaker, but with some practice, you will be able to understand how to make all the Hindi letter that your learning.

• Learn Hindi verbs

Verbs state an action, occurrence, or state of being. Learn Hindi verbs in the infinitive form, as verbs are conjugated by dropping the infinitive ending and adding other suffixes. Hindi infinitives end with naa.

Hindi verbs have many tenses that you want to use in a textbook or other reference guide to learn verb conjugations beyond the basic present tense. You can also use a good reference dictionary that will also help you to conjugate new verbs.

• Get a good Hindi dictionary 

Oxford University Press publishes the standard Hindi dictionaries, which is the Oxford Hindi-English Dictionary. Have a smaller pocket dictionary that will be good when you just need to look up a word or two

If you want to have more formal study then invest in a more substantial academic dictionary. These Hindi dictionaries are also available online. The “Digital Dictionaries of South Asia” has a dictionary of languages in Urdu and Classical Hindi.
