More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This is a complete course in understanding, speaking and writing Nepali, the lingua franca of the central and eastern Himalayas, and the national language of Nepal. If you are a beginner, or if your Nepali just needs brushing up, this course will progress quickly beyond the basics to a level where you can communicate with confidence. The course can be used for individual study or as teaching material for class tuition. The Nepali presented in this course is primarily colloquial and practical. The course is divided into 24 units, each of which is based on dialogues which exemplify and bring to life the new grammar introduced in that particular unit. Transliteration in the roman script is provided for the first four units and for all words in the English-Nepali glossary. The grammatical explanations are intended to be as accessible and non-technical as possible. The main grammatical structures of Nepali are all presented. There are exercises devised to practice every new point and a key at the back for checking the answers. Two cassettes are available, containing approximately two hours of listening material to accompany this book. They can be purchased on their own (0-340-86709-4) or as a pack with the book (0-340-86708-6).

Possibly the most useful teaching package!,
By Ruth Cheesley (rcheesley@hotmail.com) (Essex, UK/Thamel, Nepal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nepali (Teach Yourself) (Audio Cassette)
Really good way of learning Nepali, definitely reccommended. Only disadvantage is that it does go into extensive detail in some areas, which is not that easy for beginners to grasp. Having said that, it does so in a very thorough way...

Teach yourself Nepali by Michael Hutt and Abhi Subedi,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nepali (Teach Yourself) (Hardcover)
This is a really good book, introducing you to the Nepali language. It has a good variety of examples to help you to understand everything that you have learned. I would recommend that anyone wishing to purchase this book should have a bit of prior experience learning a previous language - this would help you to understand the sentance structures better. My advise would also be to keep a notebook of important grammar and vocabs to help with quick revision and learning of the language.

esay to read and learn,
By A Customer
This review is from: Nepali (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)
I sponser a little girl in nepal and have found this book to be very useful. I can now write to her in her own language instead of having my letters translated. I would reccommend this to anyone who is intrested in Nepali. It is set out both in English and nepali written and speaking in a easy to understand way. Michael Hutt is a very exsperienced trekker in nepal and has written meany books on this subject so you will be getting sound advice. Great book.
