Practise transferring the whole message
Knowing both languages gives you a foundation for interpreting.
Practice helps you listen, keep track of details and express them in the other language.
CCL assesses communication between English and Hindi through recorded dialogues.
Details to review in your practice:
- •Word choices and borrowed terms (Hinglish): check the language-specific policy
- •Words you skip without realizing (omissions)
- •Formality that fits the speakers (आप vs तुम)
Choose one detail to review, then try it again in context.

Read NAATI’s CCL assessment guidanceHindi Interpreting Details to Practise
Compare each source with the example interpretation and choose a detail to review.
NAATI permits commonly understood borrowed words in Hindi. Focus on preserving the message: a missing negative can reverse what the speaker said.
The word नहीं preserves “not”. The first version incorrectly says the application has been submitted.
Listen for negatives and conditions. Compare the source with your interpretation, and use practice feedback as a prompt to review.
Adjectives, numbers and qualifiers carry information. Check that your interpretation preserves these details.
The first version loses both how long the pain has persisted and where in the back it occurs.
Review possible omissions in your practice feedback, then compare them with the source. Note the location and duration together.
Choose a form of address that fits the speakers and setting. A professional conversation with a patient calls for respectful language.
आप and लीजिए convey a respectful tone in this patient conversation; तू and ले are too familiar here.
Practise matching the tone of the conversation as well as its meaning. Consider who is speaking to whom.
In this completed-action example, राम takes ने and खाई agrees with the feminine noun रोटी. Other constructions can follow different agreement patterns.
Verb "खाई" is feminine to agree with "रोटी", despite Ram being male. The ने marker is required.
Practise complete sentences with ने, checking the verb form in context.
Keep the specific role and legal decision in your interpretation. A general statement about release loses the detail that bail was granted.
The corrected version preserves both “magistrate” and “granted bail”. The first version does not specify bail.
Review legal vocabulary in context, then practise using it in a complete interpretation.
AI-Powered Feedback
Find a Detail Worth Practising Again
Use AI practice feedback to review possible changes in meaning and language. Compare it with the source; it can miss errors or flag acceptable wording.
If “chronic” is missing, the listener loses information about duration.
Check borrowed words against NAATI’s policy for Hindi; borrowing alone is not proof of an error.

Common Questions
Answers to common preparation questions
NAATI permits words from English and other languages that are commonly understood by Hindi speakers, particularly in scientific and technical contexts. There is no blanket ban on borrowed words. Its Hindi policy requires spoken numbers in Hindi and conversion between millions and lakhs or crores when interpreting between the languages.
In “राम ने रोटी खाई”, ने marks the subject and खाई agrees with the feminine noun रोटी. This is a completed-action construction. Practise agreement in whole sentences; other verbs and constructions can follow different patterns.
Match the formality of the speakers and setting. आप is a respectful choice in a professional conversation with a patient or official. Practise preserving the tone of each exchange rather than applying one form of address to every situation.
Each dialogue is worth 45 marks, making 90 in total. Passing requires at least 63 overall and at least 29 in each dialogue. NAATI deducts marks according to the effect of errors on communication. PassNaati practice feedback is a learning aid and does not predict your official result.
Use direct speech, speaking as the person whose words you are interpreting. For example, preserve “I” when the speaker says “I will prescribe medication”. NAATI states that indirect speech may lose marks, and using it for entire dialogues may invalidate the test.
Preserve the specific role and decision in the source. For example, “The magistrate granted bail” can be rendered as “मजिस्ट्रेट ने ज़मानत दी”. Simply saying someone was released loses the detail about bail. Practise legal terms in their sentence context.
NAATI permits a pen and loose sheets of paper; existing notes and typed notes are not allowed. During practice, try brief symbols or words that help you recall names, numbers and relationships. Use a method you can read back reliably while interpreting.
You may correct an error before continuing, briefly explaining that you are correcting yourself. NAATI warns that repeated corrections or long pauses can disrupt the conversation and may lose marks. Its published instructions do not give a fixed allowance of one or two corrections per dialogue.
