Essential Hindi Dictionary by Rupert Snell
This dictionary is a quick reference for basic-level to intermediate-level students and goes from Hindi to English and vice versa. However, you'll eventually need access to more words and the Oxford Hindi-English dictionary (see below).
The Oxford Hindi-English Dictionary by R.S. McGregor
This is the last Hindi-English dictionary you'll ever need. It's rare to come across a word in Hindi that isn't here. It includes the Hindi script and roman transliteration, noun gender, grammatical use, word derivation, and detailed definitions.
Reading Hindi - Novice to Intermediate by Kusum Knapczyk and Peter Knapczyk
This a collection of texts, graded by difficulty, to build Hindi learners' confidence in reading.
Hindi Tutor by Naresh Sharma
This course book is a fantastic choice for intermediate-level learners to continue practicing language structures alongside engaging readings and exercises that build confidence with grammar and vocabulary. I especially appreciate how the exercises use a minimum of English.
