I'm living in Chennai now and make a few trips to Mumbai for work. In Chennai, I've had few problems with English, but in Mumbai, it can be quite a bit harder. If you stick to touristy things English is fine. But if you want to try traveling by auto-rickshaw or talking to locals, you will run into difficulties without Hindi.
- revorad 17y agoYes, in Mumbai you do need Hindi. In Chennai, they'll probably ignore you if you talk in Hindi :-p. Thanks for your interest, it's encouraging to know at least some people would find this useful. If you like, drop me an email and I'll update you when I put some stuff up.
