You have performed a great service not only to the nation but also to our Indian culture.

1.0 out of 5 stars Would not recommend for beginners or self-taught, January 1, 2003
The editorial review says that this volume is designed for Indians living abroad and want to learn Hindi, but it could be also useful to English speaking people to learn Hindi easily. I totally disagree with the last part of this statement. First of all I cannot imagine studying from this book without any assistance from an instructor. The devanagari letters are quite big and boxed and you could probably master the writing using this book. However, I believe that's all this book is good for. It is not structured into lessons. Instead it has numerous tables and lists of words, them long lists of idioms, and finally a selection of dialogs. In the very end, the book presents essays and poems in Hindi. But it is hard to understand what is the way to achieve the knowledge of the language good enough to read and understand those selections. This volume looks rather like a reference or a travelor's book, but not a useful manual. Behind the pedagogical features so highly praised by the editor, I do not see a clear learning concept or good organization. I actually regret that I purchased this book.

This book is filled with wonderful insights into Indian culture. The combination of depth and simplicity in structuring the lessons is unparalleled among language books. Thank you, Mr.Shah for enriching my life by making this book available to myself and my family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Help for Indophiles!, March 9, 2001
This review is from: Learn Hindi (CD-ROM)
What a great way to learn Hindi! I have been searching for a way to learn this language at my own pace for quite some time, and have tried a number of other do-it yourself Hindi courses, all to no avail. This one makes sense to me, and is a pleasure to work with. The writer knows how I learn, and is helping me do so! Thank you, Kirit Shah!
