Media Reviews
This book is the best one that I have come across for learning Devanagari script. I've learned a great deal in a short time. -- Dilip Dayaram Tirathdas * Amazon *
This book is absolutely fantastic! Everything is explained so thoroughly and logically, there is no way you'd struggle learning the alphabet. The progression goes smoothly, I'm amazed of the talent of the authors! [...] Get it! -- E. Ignatova * Amazon *
If you want to learn Hindi, I definitely recommend getting this book and completing it first. One of the most daunting things about learning Hindi, Korean, Persian, etc. for westerners is the fact that it's written in a totally different alphabet. This book breaks everything down into small bits and builds on each other. It's more in-depth training with the alphabet and writing it than you will get in a standard Hindi course. I know a few people who wouldn't have given up on Hindi so easily if they had gone through this book in its entirety first before trying to learn the language. [...] Highly recommend! -- Michael Niemann * Amazon *
Fantastic little book to crack the Hindi script, I took my sweet time and went through it in a few weeks. Makes reading and writing Hindi childs play. -- Gr8andi * Amazon *
This book is a little treasure - it makes learning foreign writing system so fun and lightweight in comparison to heavy lifting of alphabet memorization in practically all other sources. Learning written language beforehand provides a solid grounding to begin actual language learning with confidence. -- IR * Amazon *
