Based in India now, I have been using this book for several weeks. I have made outstanding progress. The texts are clearly laid out, the accompanying CD should most definitely be used as well. I like the fact that the texts are all shown in both Devanagari and Roman script, very helpful.
There are no shortcuts, Hindi is not the easiest language. But with persistence and quality support like this book/CD you will definitely learn Hindi.

Beginner's Hindi is an excellent course guide for anyone who wants to learn the language. The guide assumes that you do not know the language at all. It starts from scratch with the pronunciation of vowels and consonants, which needs to be perfect; otherwise any native speaker will experience difficulty understanding you. Every grammar rule is well and concisely explained. The course guide is split into various topics useful for everyday life in daily lives of Indians. With the inclusion of two boxes CD, learning is much effective and user friendly as you experience and listen to native speakers of Hindi and this tremendously helps in pronunciation words clearly and properly. In a nutshell, Beginner's Hindi is the ideal course guide for anyone who wants to learn Hindi, which will be valuable for a trip to India. Do not expect to master the language quickly as you would have to go over sections a few times to really grasp the language.

I have been using this book and CD for about 4 months and have found it to be very useful and accessible and my Hindi has come on quite a lot so I have decided to buy the complete course. It starts slowly but builds up to a decent level. If you understand everything in this book you will be well on your way to speaking and understanding Hindi well. I have used many language-learning packages and this rates amongst the best of them. Make sure you get both book and CD though!

does the job - but confusing, and visually a real put-off.
There is not much choice in terms of Hindi learning books, so by default this one is OK, + it comes with a CD, which is helpful. Read more
