5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT INTERMEDIATE HINDI BOOK
Unlike the reviews might suggest from the previous reviewer, this Intermediate Hindi book is excellent. Many stories to help introduce new vocabulary and grammatical points. This book is also great for its focus on colloquial usage with many sayings and useful things. I would definitely recommend this to the student who knows script and is ready for intermediate...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a self study book
From the very first page in a chapter it starts with full devanagari text and no accompanying translation. The text ends abruptly to a glossary of the terms used. Then, it goes on like a vocabulary notebook that you'd keep in your pocket to memorize phrases. There are some exercises at the end of every chapter but no answer keys.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a self study book, February 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Intermediate Level Hindi: A Textbook (Hardcover)
From the very first page in a chapter it starts with full devanagari text and no accompanying translation. The text ends abruptly to a glossary of the terms used. Then, it goes on like a vocabulary notebook that you'd keep in your pocket to memorize phrases. There are some exercises at the end of every chapter but no answer keys. This repeats in all the chapters.

Overall, if you study in the course with the author in the University in person, it may help. If you are looking for something for self-study to bridge the gap between beginner and intermediate level, dump this book. You're as good as the day you completed your beginner's course.

It just doesn't bridge the gap between beginner and intermediate level.
