Product Description

Product Description

This book has a twofold purpose: first to provide a concise presentation of the essential grammar of modern Hindi, with graded exercises, which brings beginners as quickly as possible to the point where they can read modern prose with profit; and secondly, to serve as reference for those consolidating their grasp of the language. It is therefore, of interest to students beginning courses in Hindi and those who have already learned some. People planning to visit India for business of pleasure will also find it useful, as colloquial vocabulary and style receive equally detailed attention as the more formal written style. The material is presented in roman transliteration as well as in the Indian script, so that the beginner can work through the book unimpeded by script problems, while still enjoying the advantage of contact with the script from the outset. Additions to the third edition include a new set of listening and reading exercises and grammatical index.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Hindi teaching grammar, 29 Nov 2004
This is an excellent teaching grammar (i.e. a traditional textbook) of Hindi, containing enough information for it to be used also as a reference grammar. It has a key to the exercises, and is clear enough to be used by the independent student (like myself). The current edition now has a guide to handwriting, something oddly absent both from earlier editions and from many other Hindi guides. Vocabulary tends to include both 'Hindustani' words (words common to Hindi and Urdu) and words of Sanskrit origin that form the higher register of Hindi - for example, two words for 'book' are included, Hindi/Urdu 'kitab' (from Arabic) and Hindi 'pustak' (from Sanskrit). There are periodic revision tests. The latter are tied in also to the cassette tape that can be bought with the grammar: The tape itself, while of sadly poor reproduction quality, is most useful to someone wanting to use the Outline of Hindi Grammar as their only book (tho' I think I'd recommend using a book and tape with a more communicative approach to supplement the grammar, perhaps Snell's 'Teach Yourself Hindi' or some 'quick and easy' book, as speech patterns tend to differ somewhat from the written language).

A useful - if VERY hard-to-find - supplement to this book is "Urdu Study Materials for Use with 'Outline of Hindi Grammar'". This contains information on the Urdu script, lists Urdu , gives Urdu versions of the chapter vocabularies and the exercises and has full Urdu-English and English-Urdu vocabularies at the end. It allows one to learn both dialects, Hindi and Urdu, together, or to add Urdu later once one has mastered Hindi, with the minimum of effort.

To those who know Middle Eastern languages, I'd say the "Outline of Hindi Grammar" book is similar to Haywood and Nahmad's "New Arabic Grammar" and slightly clearer than Lambton's "Persian Grammar". Interestingly, these two are given as references in the "Urdu Study Materials" volume. It's much clearer than MacDonell's "A Sanskrit Grammar for Students"

5.0 out of 5 stars very helpfull book, 26 April 2009
By Birgit Hoffmann (Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very informative book, that includes also pronunciation aspects / transliterations and the devanagari-scripting. Being german and fighting still a bit with english, this grammar book was in large parts even for me helpful.
