Argh! Why I didn't see this being an issue I don't know.
Programming languages. This being a programming site and all. But I know - it's pretty ambiguous the way it's written.

Don't be sorry for learning Hindi.  Just kidding....
Seriously, learning Hindi will take you anywhere in India except Tamil Nadu and Kerala.  I have no idea about the North-East though.

My Hindi is still quite bad. So, can't say I've learned it

I've always been bad at Hindi, but never realized that once you leave South India and move to places like Bombay, Delhi etc, you can't communicate at all without Hindi.

I started learning German at high school, then left it for years until about last October when I picked up where I left off. I am nowhere near fluent in it still, but I can figure out the gist of sentances and communicate my general intentions with what I have so far. I bought one of those Michel Thomas audio courses which really helped me pick up what I'd done at school - if I ever need to learn a different language in the future I will definately get one of his courses.
I've found that it doesn't help that my short-term memory is not very good though - especially when learning vocabulary. I have to build and write down sentances using each verb form, etc, and go over each a few times to get it to stick past a few hours which is really time consuming. Is this normal?
Still, I am always improving and it has definately been worthwhile. Now I can understand most of the less-complex Rammstein songs I've been listening to for years.

Cool! I think I've got to learn at least 2 European languages before my language-leaning brain-portions get stale, and French and German are the two most obvious choices.
At one time, I believe it was fashionable to use French in English literature, not sure of German though.
