Dear Raj,
In my opinion, Hindi is a very easy language to learn. The good thing is you already know the written format. The only thing you require is to overcome your shyness and start practicing speaking. Since you mentioned that you don't have any Hindi-speaking friends, you can watch Hindi programs/movies on TV and try to think and speak in Hindi by yourself. All the best.

Dear Friend,
I too had the same willingness.
If you want to learn Hindi, take an oath and fix a target to learn from any mode. Otherwise, be a beggar in North India for 6 months. Then you will learn.
I followed the first one and learned Hindi.
There are no other options apart from that.

Here is what you should do.
1. Ask someone to write important phrases in Hindi and their equivalent meaning using script that you can read. Learn the correct pronunciation of each sentence (like "Mujhe bahut bhook lagi hai" - I am very hungry., Mera kaam ab khatam ho gaya hai - My work is now finished, etc.). Keep that paper handy at all times and use it often whenever the situation requires with Hindi-speaking persons that you interact with. After just a week or two, you will memorize the main sentences and be able to deal with some combination of Hindi and your native/English language with Hindi speakers. Using these methods, I have managed in places like China, Japan, Korea, etc., working with natives. I can pretty much travel and shop around in deep interiors of these countries (keep a phone number of a Hindi speaker ready and call them when it gets too tough for you to handle. Remember, you can barely understand what others will say to you. Natives speak with different tones using vocabulary that barely makes sense to you. But most people like to help - learn to say "Mujhe Hindi kam aati hai" - I know very little Hindi.). You will be surprised how people will try to use very simple words with you.
2. Once you feel comfortable with the above, you will realize that you can now add some variations to the above on your own without much help from others.
3. Once you can speak a little bit and have a good comfort zone, then take proper Hindi classes that will teach you how to read and write Hindi and speak properly without your native tone.
Good luck.
