Honest note on levels

"Beginner" means no prior Hindi; "high beginner" means you can read the script and hold a short, slow conversation. No page here promises fluency by a date — materials keep knowledge fresh, they do not manufacture it.

Beginner Hindi

Reading Devanagari in a Week — A Practical Plan
Beginner · Reading the script is the single biggest unlock in Hindi — everything you look at stops being decoration. This is a one-week plan, not a promise: a week gets you sounding words out, not reading novels.

Alphabet

Devanagari Vowels & Consonants — Quick Chart
Beginner · A single sheet to pin above your desk while the letter shapes stop looking like drawings and start looking like words. Pair it with the alphabet guide for the full explanation.

Pronunciation

Hindi Sounds English Speakers Get Wrong
Beginner · Hindi has a handful of sounds English does not. Get these six pairs right and your Hindi stops sounding like an accent and starts sounding like Hindi — this is the highest-value pronunciation work there is.

Vocabulary

100 Essential Hindi Words — Grouped to Memorise
Beginner · These are the words that do the most work in everyday Hindi — the hundred you should know cold before worrying about anything rarer. Grouped by meaning because memory likes categories.

Grammar

Beginner Grammar Reference — One Page
Beginner · The whole skeleton of Hindi on a single page — the rules that explain almost everything you will say in your first months. Keep it printed; the deep explanations live in the guides this links to. Hindi Postpositions — ka, ko, se, meṃ, par
Beginner · English puts little words before nouns (in, on, for, with); Hindi puts them after. These postpositions hold most sentences together, and getting them right removes a whole class of early errors. Sentence Patterns That Cover Most of What You Say
Beginner · Grammar is easier when it arrives as whole usable frames rather than rules. Learn these ten patterns and you can build hundreds of sentences by swapping one word — the fastest honest route to speaking.

Verbs

25 Essential Hindi Verbs — With Their Present Forms
Beginner · A handful of verbs carries an enormous amount of everyday Hindi. Learn these 25 in the present tense and you can talk about your day, your plans, and what you are doing right now.

Conversation

Polite vs Casual — Aap, Tum, Tu in Practice
Beginner · English has one 'you'; Hindi has three, and the choice signals respect or closeness. Using tu with a stranger is genuinely rude; using aap with your own child is stiff. This sheet gives you the safe default and the rules for each.

Reading

First Reading Practice — Short Paragraphs
High beginner · The gap between sounding out single words and reading a paragraph is where learners stall. These five paragraphs are deliberately short and graded, so you cross that gap in one sitting.

Writing

Writing Practice — Form the Letters Yourself
Beginner · Writing is how the letter shapes move from your eyes to your hands — and handwriting fixes them in memory faster than reading alone. This gives you the order to learn the strokes, sentences to copy, and an honest way to check yourself.

Travel

Restaurant, Shopping & Transport Phrases
Beginner · These are the phrases you will actually say on a trip — ordering without pointing, asking a price without confusion, and getting a rickshaw where you want it. Grouped by situation so you can rehearse each one.

Work

Work & Courtesy Phrases
High beginner · Work Hindi is a specific register: formal, polite, aap throughout. These phrases cover introductions, requests, small talk and courteous disagreement — the situations that come up in any professional setting.

Family

Family Words Quick Reference
Beginner · Hindi family vocabulary encodes information English collapses — which side of the family, and older or younger. This table is the fastest way to learn the words you will actually need with relatives, and to see the logic behind them.

Revision

The Mistakes Every Learner Makes — A Checklist
High beginner · Revision is most useful when it targets the specific errors you actually make. This checklist names the ten most common learner mistakes, why each happens, and the fix — tick the ones you have beaten and work the rest.
