 Not worth it November 30, 2009

I would not recommend this book as a study aid. It has so many English loanwords (words that are the same in English and Hindi) that it should be called 'Your First 25 Words in Hindi".
 Just for fun, and comprehension December 11, 2008
S. Davitt-Style (Somerville, MA USA)
This book is kind of like "fluff" -- it has a "hooked on phonics" methodology with pictures and lots of little 3rd grade level exercises -- It is not a definitive anything, BUT it is fun, it is an excellent comprehension builder, and it actually progresses in difficulty as you go further into the book. (the first chapter is "new" words that are mostly transliterated from the english -- tshirt, hotel, taxi -- It really helped me to be able to "scan" hindi words for meaning and speed, instead of sounding it out, and waiting for the rote romanization to link up to the meaning of the word.
 So Far So Good August 18, 2008

I received this book a week ago and have done a few of the exercises and torn out the flash cards. So far I think it's a really good secondary resource to a main course or program. A great study guide.

I'm teaching my daughter to read Hindi, and this book has helped. The flashcards are great. It helped me to introduce basic Hindi vocabulary to my kindergarten.
Terrible Beginner Book December 17, 2006

I bought this book in order to familiarize myself with Devanagari script prior to tackling my Hindi grammar book. This is a terrible book for learning the script. It may serve as a good exercise book if you are already somewhat familiar with the characters. However, it gives a very brief 4 page explanation on the script and the rules and when explaining rules says, "This is mostly true in modern Hindi but to keep this book simple...." and so you are left with a brief explanation that may not even be completely accurate. The rest of the book is just flashcards and exercises where you connect words to pictures except that you were NEVER taught how to write the characters or how to join them into a word. I am buying Rupert Snell's book in order to learn the script. Once I have a decent understanding I will move on to the exercises in this book to test my knowledge.
