Basic Practical Hindi: Learn Hindi for Beginners - Start Speaking from Day 1

Most people who set out to learn Hindi give up at the alphabet.
This is a Hindi grammar workbook for complete beginners - English speakers with no prior exposure to Hindi. It teaches one point per unit, in the clean two-page format made familiar, and every line of Hindi appears three ways: script, romanised pronunciation, and English meaning. Nothing is assumed.
By the end of this book you will be able to:

• Read and write Devanagari confidently, with tracing practice built into each unit
• Greet people, thank them, and say what you need using everyday spoken forms
• Build correct sentences using Hindi word order, gender, and number
• Handle numbers, colours, days, and telling the time in real situations
• Use postpositions and the oblique case - the point where most self-taught learners stall

Twenty-five units, five exercise types per unit with room to write, three review sections, two self-assessments, and a complete answer key. A pronunciation guide, grammar cheat sheet, vocabulary tables, and cultural notes close the book.
Written for self-study, classroom use, and embassy and university language programmes.
Start with Unit 0 and give yourself forty minutes. You will be reading your first Hindi sentence before the hour is out.
