Hindi is one of the world's main languages, with over 650 million speakers in India, an millions more on every continent. These are many primers that teach children who can already speak Hindi-how to read and write their language. As the title Hindi Teacher or English Speaking People suggests. Dr. Ratnakar Narale ha written this book with a different audience in mind: English speakers of all ages who want to learn Hindi from scratch. This audience includes many kinds of people: the inhabitants of non-Hindi-speaking parts of India: Canadians. Americans, and West Indians whose ancestors came from India, but whose first language is English.
This logically arranged book is filled with virtually thousand of examples, and each dialogue is designed with the view of its practical value for the targeted people. Along the way. Hundreds of new words and the frequent exercises let the student learn to speak and write Hindi sentences almost without much effort. This practical 'Teach Yourself' manual closes with exercises in correcting faulty sentences, reading dialogues, telling the time, and writing letters. There are also useful lists of proverbs. Synonyms and antonyms, and so on.
Dr. Narale has been careful to draw most of the examples from words and concepts that are familiar to Westerners. This emphasizes that Hindi is a world language, and not merely an Indian one. Truly practical. Compre-hensive and easy to understand reference manual for classroom study to learn HINDI.
