Practice Makes Perfect Basic Hindi

Excellent book

useful

Very good book, easy explained

This book was purchased on Kindle, as always the order came in quickly I have not had an opportunity to use it as yet but have scanned the material and I will find it very helpful. Thank you.

This book is the perfect starting point for a child or adult wishing to learn the very basics of reading and writing in Hindi script. The lessons are so clear and concise. I really like the format. The book would be an excellent tool for native speakers teaching small children the fundamentals of the language. For non native speakers, it would still be totally possible to teach your self using this book but I personally, will need extra learning aids/ materials to help me with the correct pronunciation for vowels etc - I have a CD from another Hindi language course that undertook some years ago. A good Hindi dictionary is going to be a must have item, too. I'm really really pleased with this book and feel it will set me on the right path for future Hindi language courses.

Can I just say that this is my best spontaneous purchase yet! After starting Uni, I've been struggling with my identity, and grew closer to my Indian culture after being exposed to bigotry. I grew up speaking gujarati, which is very similar to hindi. I'm exposed to hindi/gujju mostly at home, yet I never learned how to read or write in either language. This book is AMAZING. I ended up learning how to read and write in hindi in less than two days! The lessons are beyond my expectations. Of course, I might be biased because I'm a native speaker (not reader/writer), but I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn the beautiful Devanagari script! :D

Lo consiglio tanto a chi come me deve partire da zero. È presente tutta la parte iniziale della grammatica che parte dall'alfabeto (con tanto di spiegazione su come scrivere passo passo i vari caratteri) fino ad arrivare a forme verbali come il futuro semplice e varie modalità di costruzioni di frasi di uso quotidiano.

Das Format des Buches trifft nicht so sehr meinen Geschmack. Ein kleineres Format hätte es auch getan. Aber, Ok, das habe ich nicht in meine Wertung einfließen lassen. Der Inhalt überzeugt dafür umso mehr, so, dass es den Titel (zu deutsch) "Grundlagen des Hindi" völlig zurecht trägt. Das Buch ist zwar auf Englisch, aber das sollte jemandem, der Sprachen lernt abschrecken. Hindi ist nicht leicht zu lernen, nehmen wir zum Beispiel "diakritsche Zeichen", auf die wird eingegangen, genauso wie auf Ligaturen, die ein wesentliches Element des Hindi sind und die gerade Anfänger oft wie den vielzitierten Ochsen vor dem Berge stehen lassen. Für Anfänger ist es eine günstige Alternative, um einen guten Einstieg in diese Sprache zu finden. Meinerseits: klare Kaufempfehlung!
