    A Path to Learning Hindi
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2015*

About 6 months ago I decided I wanted to teach myself Hindi after I discovered a free learning site through the library. From there, I checked out several learning books and tapes from the library.  I also downloaded information from some free learning Internet sites. I found that some books were transliterating a few words with different English letters ( a long "I" might become "ee", for example), so I began checking out Hindi learning books on Amazon.In December, I purchased Elementary Hindi with audio MP3s and Elementary Hindi Workbook.  I based my purchase decision on the fact that the textbook was almost 8 1/2 x 11 inches, so I might not have to read Hindi script type so small that I could not accurately read or write it.  Secondly, the book preview showed each script character drawn in large enough font, with arrows depicting each stroke so I could precisely write each script character.  The final reason for my decision to buy was that the textbook and workbook began the first chapter with only a few script characters, not the whole alphabet.  Even though I appreciate the books that do start with the entire alphabet, for me I thought it would be easier to learn.  Two weeks after I received my books, I decided to purchase Hindi In A Flash, Volume 1, flashcards.  The cards are beautiful, and although I am not yet ready to use them, I treasure them.I am extremely pleased that I bought these books for the above reasons and many more.  I am a slow learner so I can learn in small pieces.  Lesson 1 is broken into small segments that are manageable.  It introduces a few consonants and a few vowels.  Then the student is guided to the workbook and to listen to the MP3 which slowly gives accurate pronunciation by a Hindi speaker of each vowel introduced, and the consonants paired with the vowels.  I may only spend a few minutes a day or in a week, but each time I play the MP3s, I hear each consonant, vowel, or word more accurately.  At first I couldn't keep up with the time element allowed to pronounce, but I am now beginning to keep up.I am currently working on Lesson 1 which introduces Rules for Pronunciation, a small vocabulary using the newly introduced script.  When I began trying to read the practice vocabulary, I found that I was expecting to see a transliteration pronunciation guide.  It wasn't there, so I searched the Internet and found out the term "Romanagari" and difficulties one can encounter translating text and how easy it is to spell the intended word incorrectly or come up with an inaccurate translation.  So I am happy that these books are nudging me to learn the Hindi script.  There are several appendices in the back of the book as well as a small glossary.  The workbook contains answer keys in the back of the book.I am highly confident that Elementary Hindi, the MP3s, the Workbook, and the Flashcards will be my foundation to accurately read, write, and speak Hindi even if there turn out to be variations.  I am quite content that the workbook is not included in the main learning book, as it might have become confusing.  In the main book, the Practice words are closely related so that maybe later they might not be mixed up.  The Rules for Pronunciation and the Grammar rules are written succinctly and illustrated in a manner that makes the meanings clear.Since beginning Lesson 1, I find it easier to look at other Hindi books, even though I don't understand everything, they are becoming more understandable, and I am more relaxed.  It's fun to go exploring.  I received an e-mail the other day which had a picture of part of a Hindi newspaper, and I was able to decipher some of the script characters and a person's name.I have no Hindi speakers in my life at present--maybe someday.  However, one day when I was riding the bus, there were several Hindi couples chatting and laughing in their native language.  There was so much life in their conversation, I found it attractive.Online I found out that Windows Character Map has some foreign language fonts, so if I only have an English keyboard, I can insert a few letters into my text.  Here is one:  नमस्ते.  I found these characters under Arial Unicode MS.

    An excellent language text
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2023*

Excellent, adult, sophisticated, and seemingly comprehensive, this text has really impressed me so far.  Its inclusion of linguistic terminology is excellent (though perhaps daunting if you’ve never been exposed to such; while I’m new to Hindi, I’ve studied several other languages), and its eschewing of excess Roman script, at least equally so.  It’s a book that immediately draws in the learner.  धन्यवाद, Elementary Hindi!  मुझे यह किताब बहुत पसंद है!

    A great way to begin Hindi!
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2015*

Exactly as the book says - Elementary Hindi. It's fantastic!When I started, I honestly thought I would never learn the Devanagari script or the pronunciation. It was so bewildering. But this book really makes it simple. It breaks things down and makes everything big and clear. The workbook (separate purchase) is a really great addition for extra practice.Summary:Pros: easy to use, friendly, makes a very intimidating script and pronunciation simple, holds your hand through the journey, fantastic hard cover bookCons: this isn't really a con, but this book won't get you speaking fluent Hindi. It is what it says - Elementary Hindi. I firmly believe that this is the best book to begin with. If you want to get further, I recommend Complete Hindi - but that can be used after this.Final point: get the hard cover book! It's so much easier flicking through pages (which you will do a lot when learning the alphabet)
