Terrific Book! [Posted on 2007-08-06] I bought this book to accompany Rosetta Stone Hindi. As I wrote in that review, this book is a must for those wanting to learn Hindi (Devanagari) script. A+
Awesome way to teach yourself Hindi script [Posted on 2007-09-03] This is a great learning resource; very thorough and well-organized. For me, learning to speak a language by ear first- without learning how to read/write- is impossible and unacceptable. So this book was a necessary first step before I could move on to the Rupert Snell "Teach Yourself Hindi" package with the conversation books and CDs (also fantastic).
By the end of this book, I really felt like I had a handle on the alphabet and I was able to read lots of words, even though for the most part I didn't know what they meant (haha!).
I have only two suggestions for improvements:
1) Include directional guidance on how to actually write the letters (it's not always evident where to start and end writting- left, right, up, down...). This can be hard to accept for a perfectionist ;) Fortunately, there are some guides to writing the letters online, .
2) Include a CD with the pronunciation of each letter. Some of these letters are difficult to pronounce despite the helpful hints from the book's author.
Definitely, Hindi made easy!!! [Posted on 2008-02-06] EASY EASY EASY!!!!This book is so simplified. I can now write and pronounce Hindi. An excellent purchase for beginners like myself. Just remember like everything else practice makes perfect.
easy to use [Posted on 2008-05-11] I've picked it up quickly, I'm taking lessons, but the book is essential, in two weeks I've learned to read and write the language.
reccomended
Teach Yourself Beginner's Hindi Script is Excellent!! [Posted on 2008-07-08] This book is an essential companion to "Teach Yourself Hindi" by the same authors. It explains Conjungts etc. much much more. It is clearly written and the English signs tranliterated in Hindi are a very practical way to learn Hindi!!
For the few extra dollars, it is worth getting both books together..
