Topics

🌱 BasicsThe starting point: the Devanagari alphabet, your first words, and the honest answer to where to begin. 💬 ConversationWhat to actually say to a person: greetings, politeness (aap, tum, tu), small talk and speaking practice. 🔊 Pronunciation, reading & writingThe sounds English speakers get wrong, and the path from reading your first letter to writing your own name. 📏 GrammarWord order, verbs, gender, postpositions and the mistakes everyone makes — explained, not listed. 📚 VocabularyHigh-frequency words grouped by meaning: family, numbers, and the hundred essentials. ✈️ Travel HindiBargaining, autos, trains, food, directions and being unwell — the phrases you will actually use. 🏠 Daily life & cultureBollywood, Hinglish, slang, heritage and the Hindi you hear every day, not in textbooks. 🔢 Numbers & countingHindi numbers are genuinely irregular. The full 1–100 list, the pattern, and counting practice. ⏰ Time & datesDays, months and telling the time — including the half-hour words that confuse every learner. 🍛 Food & eatingOrdering, tastes and table talk — the Hindi you need in restaurants and markets. 🛍️ Shopping & moneyPrices, bargaining and the phrases for markets and shops.

This course, level by level, in plain HTML

The player above keeps your progress; these pages keep the content. Each published level of the Hindi course — its lessons, vocabulary, grammar, dialogues, practice questions, quiz, worksheet and level test, with all the answers — is also a page you can read without JavaScript, print, or link to. Unpublished levels are not presented as complete. The Hindi ladder in full →

The same learner, from A1 to C2

Each rung of the Hindi course is a person at a different age: a child at A1, an adult using Hindi at work around B1+, and by C2 someone who has spoken it for a lifetime. The picture is the level — the same ladder every language here climbs, and here is how the eleven rungs work.
