Sample Answer 1
I know very few foreigners who speak my native language. However, today I am going to talk about one such person who speaks perfect Hindi. His name is Mike. Last year, I came to know about him from his YouTube video. As I am fond of watching vlogs on YouTube, one day while scrolling I found his video.
His interesting channel name, ‘Canadian in India’ grabbed my attention. He was born and brought up in Canada, but these days live in India for shooting his travel vlogs. I was amazed when I watched his vlogs in Hindi. Honestly speaking, his fluency in Hindi like a native.

Moving ahead, I started following him on YouTube. Once I watched his live video where he told how he learnt Hindi very well. One of his colleagues was Indian who used to teach him Hindi during his college days. That’s how he developed his interest in the Hindi language.
Apart from this, he also started studying Hindi on internet as well as watch Hindi movies. No doubt, he had already enough knowledge about Hindi language since college days, but his visit to India improved his Hindi more. He understands each and every word of Hindi now.
He gets a lot of love from Indians when he shoots his vlogs in Indian streets and markets and talk with locals in Hindi. Additionally, he also fell in love with Indian culture and wear Indian traditional clothes. So, this is a person from a foreign nation who speaks Hindi well.
Sample Answer 2
Being a student, I don’t meet many people on regular basis. However, I do know a person who despite having an entirely different nationality, speaks my native language Hindi in a proficient way. This person is Joseph Rogers and he basically belongs to Nigeria. He is my sister’s senior. I came to know about him when my sister took me to her college on her fresher’s party as she wanted me to watch her performing on the stage.

The function was being hosted by a second-year student Joseph Rogers. My surprise knew no bounds when I saw that this boy was speaking Hindi and that too in a fluent manner. After the function got over, I expressed the desire of meeting this boy. My sister, who was herself amazed, took me to Joseph. On interacting with him we came to know that he had come to India 5 years ago for higher education but he was interested in Hindi language ever since his childhood.
It was due to the fact that he had an Indian friend in his school in Nigeria who used to teach him his language. So, he started understanding Hindi Language a long back. At that time, he tried speaking but was not fluent enough. But since the time he had come to India, it became a necessity for him as survival in a foreign country is a daunting task if one doesn’t know the indigenous language of the host country.
Realizing this, he started watching Hindi movies and listening to Hindi songs which made him well-versed in this language. Apart from this, he preferred interacting with the native speakers. I had all the appreciation for his come to india, it became a necessity for him as survival in a foreign country is a daunting task if one doesn’t know the indigenous language of the host country.
Realizing this, he started watching Hindi movies and listening to Hindi songs which made him well-versed in this language. Apart from this, he preferred interacting with the native speakers. I had all the appreciation for his dedication for attaining command on a foreign language. I also felt proud that in today’s scenario when everyone is running after learning English language, Hindi is also attracting the attention of foreigners.
