Honest start

Devanagari first via the script trainer. Then First 500 and gentle audio. Knowing spoken Urdu helps conversation but does not unlock Hindi reading automatically.

Month plan

1. Script + matras until decoding is not the bottleneck.
2. First 500 + graded listening.
3. Five spoken sentences/day; gender agreement in chunks.
4. One short conversation appointment.

Traps

• Romanized Hindi forever.
• Grammar without listening finish lines.
• Assuming Urdu literacy transfers to Devanagari.

Daily 25-minute template

1. 5 min — script or pronunciation warm-up.
2. 10 min — First 500 or topic deck.
3. 10 min — listening you finish + 30-second retell.

Resource use on this site

Start with one free course from the list below, one listening habit, and one reference. Use on-site tools linked above. Ignore the rest of the directory until those three habits are alive for two weeks.

Progress checks

• Can you decode the script without romanization?
• Can you finish a graded clip and retell three facts?
• Have you spoken — even badly — four times this month?

A solid practice day

Pick five high-frequency words or phrases, say one sentence with each aloud, finish a short graded clip that might contain them, and write a brief diary line. If the clip is too hard, step down one level — don’t open another app.
