If you’re getting frustrated with the Hindi course, try the reverse course early
So, Hindi on Duolingo has a problem. It teaches letters waaay too out of context. If you want to start learning words other than the word for “one” early in the course, do English for Hindi speakers instead. That course leaps into words. (Basic words, like “girl” and “I”). I recommend this as soon as you complete crown level 1 in Alphabet 2.
I appreciate Hindi for English speakers on Duolingo, but the first four lessons can be taught much better.

I never really considered doing a reverse tree before being at least intermediate in a language, but I followed your advice. And you are right, it is helpful. I have done two lessons and I am getting more of a feeling for it already.
I don't use the wordbank, I type in Devanagari. It is a bit laborious in the beginning, but you retain the words much better this way.
