Namaste Aarti, if you are the creator of this excellent blog.
I just discovered your site some time ago but have been studying with other material up to now mostly; I am always on the lookout for new hindi related sites in order to progress in my study. I should describe myself as an advanced beginner or intermediate student of hindi; your blog appears to be rather targetting beginners but I appreciate the new vocabulary that comes with every new post.
Do you think you could please devote some time to conjunct consonants ? I am probably not alone in stumbling in front of one or the other of these rare “twisted” birds at times! I think that most students are otherwise quite quickly comfortable with hindi script reading. It is so logical !
Many thanks for your efforts in propagating hindi.
