Editorial Reviews

Review

As a professional educator, I am very impressed with Let's Learn Hindi's pedagogical approach to learning Hindi. It is practical, easy to use and fun. I have used this book extensively and I would highly recommend it to anyone interesting in learning Hindi. -- Professor Ellen Rosenberg, University of BC, Vancouver, Canada

I have been using Let's Learn Hindi in several of my courses at Harvard University with great success. Because it is such a 'user-friendly' quick reference grammar book and dictionary, students have found it an invaluable supplement to the other language and literature texts I use in my courses. Students have found the grammar explanations to be accessible as they are written in a simple language and avoid the use of excessive linguistic terms. I would enthusiastically recommend this book to my collegues who teach Hindi at other US universities. As far as I know, Let's Learn HIndi is unique among instructional texts for Hindi. -- Professor Ali Asani, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA

Learning a foreign language such as Hindi can be both difficult and stressful. Having such a clear, well-laid out, easily accessible, user friendly learning resource has made the subject interesting, and enjoyable to learn. As a recent visitor to India, I can personally attest to its practical and useful nature by the number of times I have used Let's Learn Hindi. --Gary Miller MD FRCPC Australia

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprisingly easy-to-use book for learning Hindi, November 10, 2002

Before heading out on a trip to India, I looked through the languages section of a number of bookstores and searched the internet tryng to find a book which I could use to learn Hindi rather quickly. Luckily I found Let's Learn Hindi, because within a very short period of time I was able to construct sentences in Hindi using the book, and the extensive vocabulary was especially helpful once I was in India and finding my way around. The book was that simple and easy to use. Bravo!

Definitely a very easily laid out user friendly system that would be very beneficial to new learners of Hindi. Includes script and transliteration. Many simplified grammar lessons and a mini dictionary as well as many interesting little tidbits on the Hindi language and its usage etc.

I bought this book because it was the highest rated on Amazon. I have friends who speak Hindi and they promised to help me out since I wanted to learn. When I used this book as a guide, they kept asking me what the hell I was trying to say. I showed them the book, they looked through it and laughed. They all said the pronounciation guide is complete junk and that if I went to India and actually talked like that they'd think I was mentally retarded. Don't waste your money on this book. Get one written by somebody who actually KNOWS how to pronounce the letters.
