Duolingo is a popular language-learning platform that includes both a website and a mobile app. It offers over 94 different language courses, including Hindi. Duolingo teaches the basics of Hindi, including some basic vocabulary and grammar. However, there is no way you will truly learn a language through Duolingo.

Forvo is a fascinating tool that shows how words are pronounced in various foreign languages. Just type the word you’re looking for into the Forvo search bar, and voilà, you’ll hear it spoken by multiple native speakers. This is excellent for pronunciation. Note: it will take you a few minutes to figure out how the tool works, but it's worth spending a few minutes to master how it works.
