Here's another useful page
http://www.ispeakhindi.com/
There is a vocabulary building tool and podcasts with some useful vocabulary and some delightfully random sentences.
For example, I have never had occasion to utter the following thoughts in any language. But you never know when knowing them might prove useful :)
एक हाथी ने उसे पैरों तले (under) रौंद (trampled) दिया ।
(Ek haathee ney use pairon taley raund diya.) An elephant trampled him under the feet.
This might be a more common accident in India but it's not going to happen anywhere near me.
लाश ( dead-body) को मिट्टी ( soil) से ढक (cover) दो ।
(Laash ko mittee se dhak do.)
Cover the dead body with the soil.
If I ever have to get rid of a body on the sly I'll know what to say.
