Tips

Finding Hindi content

YouTube has tons of Hindi content with subtitles. News channels like NDTV and Aaj Tak, cooking shows, vlogs, and music videos all work well. Search for topics you're interested in and check for Hindi captions.

Netflix and Prime Video have big Hindi libraries too. Filter by language or look for Hindi originals. A lot of international shows also have Hindi dubs.

For reading practice, Hindi Wikipedia is surprisingly good. News sites like NDTV Hindi, BBC Hindi, and Dainik Jagran work well for intermediate learners. Check the Discover tab on your dashboard for a curated list of sources.

Building a routine

Consistency beats intensity. Fifteen minutes a day with Hindi content will get you further than a three-hour weekend cram session.

The heatmap and streak tracker on your dashboard are there to show you your progress, not to stress you out. Some days you'll do more, some less.

When to mark words as Known

If you see a word and immediately know what it means without needing the popup, mark it Known. If you sort of recognize it but want to double-check, leave it as Seen.

You can always change a word's status later, so don't overthink it.

Getting the most out of sentence mining

The best sentences to mine are ones where you understand everything except one word. Those are gold for learning because you can figure out the new word from context.

Resist the urge to mine every unknown word you come across. A few good cards per day beats dozens of forgettable ones, and you'll actually keep up with reviews that way.

Looking up linked words without navigating away

When a Hindi word is inside a clickable link (like on Wikipedia or news sites), clicking it would normally follow the link instead of opening the popup dictionary. To look up the word without leaving the page, hold Shift and click the word. This tells the extension to show the popup instead of following the link.
