Read and write Hindi script (Teach Yourself) 1st Edition

I absolutely love this book, it’s easy to use, the layout is great. I also found that the information was gradually presented in such a way to help one ease into different subjects. For example, there is a introduction to the script then writing practice and finally basic vocabulary is introduced using letters you have learned and before you know it you are reading!!! It’s pretty fun and the progression of learning is amazing. I recommend this book.

A very thorough book for learning to write Devanagari. Lots of examples of "real" script from signs and handwriting. I like that it doesn't have large empty spaces for me to practice writing on. I'm not paying for empty pages with lines, I can practice writing in a notebook. Great coverage of the conjunct letters. I chuckled when the author wrote that Devanagari was an easy alphabet, yet here he wrote a whole book to learn to read and write it! It's not super hard, but it has complexities.

This book will teach you how to read and write the Hindi language very effectively and clearly. I am surprised how this book takes the mystery out of learning how to read and understand the letters in the Hindi alphabet and what they mean and how to write them. Even if you never master speaking the Hindi language. You will definitely learn to read and write Hindi with this book.

This new edition is good. Things are broken down in such a way that it is relatively easy to learn. Still, like the rest of the series, it throws quite a bit at you and would be best in a classroom setting.

Bought it for class but it greatly accelerated my writing skills and it’s easy to follow

It is an essential complement to learning Hindi.

nice book to learn from.

I bought this book along with the Hindi Flash Cards Kit, one month ago. Today I can read the Hindi text on the flash cards, even though I don't have all the words memorized yet. Along with Essential Hindi (Tuttle) to actually learn sentence structure, I am very happy with my progress in a short time.

I learned the script by copying printed materials so I now write like a child. I wish this book had been around when I started. If anything it's over-informative. Sometimes all I need is a simple alphabet showing how the individual letters are constructed.

This book is well structured and takes you nicely by the handthrough Hindi script both for reading and writing. There are plenty of useful exercises to practise and it gives you a real sense of achievement as you soon make progress and realise that what looked nearly impossible to master is in fact fun to learn and you can get there!

A good introduction
