About this study guide

Hindi is spoken by hundreds of millions of people, and learning it opens a window onto the culture, films and literature of India. This guide explains everything in plain English, which makes it a comfortable starting point for readers who already think and study in that language.

The first part focuses on Devanagari, showing how consonants and vowel signs combine to form syllables and how to read and write them with care. Later sections cover pronouns, the subject-object-verb word order, postpositions, gender, and the present, past and future forms of common verbs. You will also find vocabulary for family, food, directions and shopping, along with notes on formal and informal ways of addressing people.

The guide moves through four levels, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced and Expert, allowing you to strengthen reading and writing skills gradually.
Each level is unlocked separately
