5.0 out of 5 stars
Entertaining and thorough Hindi language tutor,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hindi (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent introduction to Hindi. Using dialogues and exercises it gives the learner a clear guide to Hindi grammar and vocabulary and the Devnaagari script. It is probably not suitable for anyone looking to acquire tourist Hindi in a short period of time, but there are many good guides available for this (even on-line). For anyone looking for a thorough guide to teach themselves (conversational as well as argumentative and occasionally cantankerous) Hindi, this book is highly recommended. It also has an entertaining, if bizarre, Bollywood ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Rigorous course by two SOAS lecturers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hindi (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)
So many readers giving 5 stars for a textbook is fairly unusual but this is so much better than Bhatia's "Colloquial Hindi" that it deserves it. The main difference is in the longer length and use of the (easy and logical) devanagari script. RS McGregor's Hindi-English dictionary and the (revised) Lonely Planet Hindi phrasebooks are an excellent accompaniement to this course. McGregor's grammar is also worth getting (better than Srivasta's) though it is a course of a kind itself rather than a reference grammar.

By A Customer
This review is from: Hindi (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)
So many readers giving 5 stars for a textbook is fairly unusual but this is so much better than Bhatia's "Colloquial Hindi" that it deserves it. The main difference is in the longer length and use of the easy and logical devanagari script. (The reviewer who objected to the use of the script will never be able to speak Hindi naturally).Also on Amazon, RS McGregor's Hindi-English dictionary and the (now revised) Lonely Planet Hindi phrasebook are an excellent accompaniment to this course. McGregor's Hindi grammar is also worth getting (better than Srivasta's) although it is a course of a kind itself rather than a reference grammar per se.
