Trouble finding modern vocab!

Im a native English speaker and have been studying Hindi for the last 2 years. It started as just a side interest but quickly became serious due to my bf being a Hindi native speaker. But I am having the most difficult time finding modern, up to date learning resources. It’s so discouraging!!

I feel so irritated because every app I’ve used, channel I’ve watched, or book I’ve read is so outdated. I’ll discuss new words or sayings I’ve learned with my bf and he’ll laugh and say no one ever says it.

Of course my bf has been a big help with my learning, but I do not want to be dependent on him solely teaching me as it’s A LOT of work, and I would love to be dependent and only fall back on him for practicing or other minor things.

For the past year I primarily only listen to Hindi music, watch Hindi movies, podcasts, do Duolingo, Hellotalk,Pimsleur, hindipod101… and I don’t feel like I’ve made a ton of progress.

I know how to read devanagari (but do not know most translations) I know the grammar and basic vocab. That’s it. After 2 years! 😭🥲

I am SO motivated!! I just have no idea where to turn.

Anyone else having this issue?! Any suggestions? I feel like no one is really trying to learn Hindi so the resources are so limited..

TIA 🩷🩷🙏
