What it actually is

News articles, explainers and video reports in standard written Hindi, updated constantly and free. Because many stories are also published in English you can effectively self-check comprehension by reading the same event twice. Be aware that news Hindi is heavily Sanskritized and formal — it will not teach you how people actually talk, so balance it with conversational input.
