FAQ
Frequently asked questions about learning Nepali
Nepali presents moderate difficulty. The Devanagari script (47 characters) takes 4–6 weeks to master. The grammar follows an SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) order different from English, but is relatively regular. The main challenge is phonetic: Nepali distinguishes between aspirated and unaspirated sounds (p/ph, b/bh, d/dh). With 3–4 months of regular lessons, basic conversation is achievable.
Absolutely. Off the main tourist trails (Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit), English is rarely spoken. Knowing 200–300 words of Nepali transforms a trek into a genuine cultural immersion: bargaining in Namche Bazaar, thanking a host family in a high-altitude teahouse, or chatting with Sherpa porters. Nepali guides deeply appreciate visitors who make the effort to learn a few words.
Partially. Both languages are Indo-Aryan, use the same Devanagari script and share a large Sanskrit-based vocabulary, a Nepali speaker and a Hindi speaker can understand each other about 60–70% orally on simple topics. But the grammatical structures and everyday vocabulary diverge enough that communication is limited without specific learning. Learning Nepali does, however, give you a real springboard to Hindi.
Yes. Large Nepali communities live in the UK (around 100,000 people, including many Gurkhas and their families), the US (around 200,000), Canada and Australia. They work in hospitality, healthcare and tech, and have active cultural associations that celebrate Dashain and Tihar in major cities. Nepali is increasingly heard in London, New York, Sydney and Toronto.
Yes, widely. Nepali is an officially recognized language of India in the states of Sikkim, the Darjeeling region (West Bengal) and parts of northeast India. The Gorkha community, native Nepali speakers, numbers over 3 million people in India. In Sikkim and Darjeeling, Nepali is the main street language. The Gurkhas, famous elite soldiers in the British and Indian armies, are predominantly Nepali.

“Been on Targumi for 3 months. The small group format is exactly what I needed. My teacher takes time to correct accent, it's precious. Made more progress in 3 months than in 2 years of regular apps.”
CamilleVerified purchase

“What sold me is you actually speak from class one. No 10 hours of theory before opening your mouth. And the platform between classes is well-built, I revise on the morning commute.”
DamienVerified purchase

“Honestly I had doubts at first because I'd tried plenty of methods without sticking. This is different, the teacher knows their stuff, adapts to your level, and we have fun on top of it. 6 months in and still motivated.”
