Learn Spanish through Hindi
हिन्दी के माध्यम से Español सीखें
Every lesson explains Spanish by comparing it directly to Hindi grammar and vocabulary — word order, case marking, formal speech, and more — instead of translating through English.
All Lessons
Greetings & Formality
अभिवादन और औपचारिकता
Spanish splits 'you' into tú (informal) and usted (formal) — the same instinct Hindi speakers already have with तुम vs. आप. Start here before any other vocabulary.
Alphabet & Pronunciation
वर्णमाला और उच्चारण
Spanish is written with the Latin alphabet plus one extra letter, ñ, that Devanagari doesn't have — but Spanish spelling is far more consistent than English's, so once you learn the rules, reading aloud becomes predictable, much closer to how Devanagari's phonetic script behaves.
Numbers 1–10
संख्याएँ १–१०
Spanish numbers 1–10 are simple standalone words, and Hindi's एक–दस are simple standalone words too — but unlike Spanish's uno/una, Hindi's एक never changes form for gender at all.
Family
परिवार
Spanish and Hindi both assign grammatical gender to every noun, and for family words the assignment already matches biological sex in both languages — पिता (father) is masculine just like el padre, and माता (mother) is feminine just like la madre.
Articles & Gender
आर्टिकल और लिंग
Spanish marks every noun's gender with an article — el, la, un, una — while Hindi has no articles at all, no word for 'the' or 'a'. So although Hindi nouns already carry gender just like Spanish nouns do, the article system itself is a brand-new category to build from scratch.
Subject Pronouns & Two Verbs for 'To Be': ser vs. estar
सर्वनाम और 'होना' के दो क्रिया-रूप: ser बनाम estar
Spanish splits the single idea of 'to be' into two separate verbs, ser and estar, chosen by whether you're describing something permanent or temporary — a distinction Hindi's होना doesn't make on its own, so treat this as a brand-new category to learn, not a mapping from an existing habit.
Sentence Structure
वाक्य संरचना
Spanish sentences default to subject-verb-object order, exactly unlike Hindi's word order — Hindi is verb-final, subject-object-verb, so this is one of the biggest structural adjustments in the whole course.
Plural Nouns
बहुवचन संज्ञाएँ
Spanish pluralizes nouns by adding -s or -es depending on the ending — a simple, mostly uniform rule. Hindi's plurals also depend on the noun's ending and gender, but with several different patterns rather than one, so 'it depends on the word' won't be a new idea.
Numbers 11–100
संख्याएँ ११–१००
Spanish numbers stay irregular from eleven to fifteen, then turn into visible compounds from sixteen onward — while Hindi keeps a distinct, largely unpredictable word for almost every number from eleven to ninety-nine, with barely a visible pattern to lean on.
Present Tense: Regular -AR Verbs
वर्तमान काल: नियमित -AR क्रियाएँ
Spanish sorts every regular verb into one of three families by its infinitive ending — -ar, -er, or -ir — and each family conjugates on a single predictable pattern. Start with -ar, the largest and most common group.
Present Tense: Regular -ER and -IR Verbs
वर्तमान काल: नियमित -ER और -IR क्रियाएँ
The other two regular verb families, -er and -ir, share almost the same ending pattern as each other — only the nosotros and vosotros forms differ — so learning both together is more efficient than treating them as unrelated.
Question Words
प्रश्नवाचक शब्द
Spanish question words all carry a written accent mark that doesn't change their pronunciation but flags a question — a spelling signal Hindi doesn't need, since Hindi question words are simply their own distinct words.
Negation
निषेध
Spanish negates a sentence with a single word, no, placed right before the verb — and Hindi negates almost everything with a single word too, नहीं, in the same position, so this is one of the most direct one-to-one matches in the whole course.
Adjective Agreement
विशेषण की सहमति
Spanish adjectives change their ending to match the gender and number of the noun they describe — and Hindi adjectives do exactly the same kind of thing with अच्छा/अच्छी/अच्छे, so this habit will already feel familiar rather than brand new.
Possessive Adjectives
स्वामित्ववाचक विशेषण
Spanish possessives — mi, tu, su, and the rest — mostly stay fixed regardless of gender, and only nuestro/vuestro change to agree with the noun. Hindi's possessives go further: मेरा/मेरी/मेरे already agree fully with the noun's gender and number, every single time — so Spanish's rule here is actually a lighter version of a habit Hindi already has.
Daily Routine & Telling Time
दैनिक कार्यक्रम और समय बताना
Spanish tells time with a feminine 'the' agreeing with hora ('hour') that's silently implied — es la una but son las dos — while Hindi switches between बजा and बजे depending on whether the hour is one or something else, a similar underlying instinct with completely different words.
Food & Ordering
खाना और ऑर्डर करना
Ordering food in Spanish leans on the same querer-softening pattern you'd use for any polite request — no separate 'restaurant register' to learn, much like Hindi reuses its everyday polite phrasing (चाहिए, कृपया) in a restaurant exactly as it would anywhere else.
Self-Introduction, Countries & Nationalities
अपना परिचय, देश और राष्ट्रीयताएँ
Introducing yourself in Spanish pulls together several things from earlier lessons at once — ser for identity, gender-agreeing nationality words — and nationality adjectives change for gender exactly the way any other Spanish adjective does, the same instinct Hindi's own gender-agreeing adjectives already trained.
