Hi,
It's in my Hindi textbook but no explanation is given.
मुझे हिन्दी आती है literally means "Hindi is coming to me", so I think it must be an idiomatic expression.
Many thanks
Simon

Hindi come to me in the same way that knowledge comes to a person...
my dictionary (oxford Hindi English) gives many meanings for आना (infinitive form) including 3. to be acquired (skill, knowledge) with your sentence right after that.
