Hindi for Beginners: An A1 Workbook to Read and Write Devanagari, Build Simple Sentences, and Practice Everyday Hindi

Description

Start with नमस्ते. Build up to introducing yourself, ordering at a café, and making plans in Hindi.

Hindi for Beginners is a write-in A1 workbook for English-speaking adults starting from scratch. Ten chapters take you from recognising your first Devanagari letters to reading short dialogues and writing simple messages. Clear English explanations, sound cues, and worked examples show you what to do before you try it yourself.

Inside the workbook, you’ll learn to:

• Read and write Devanagari letters and vowel signs with clear models and space to practise.

• Build simple sentences, ask questions, and choose polite or familiar forms of address.

• Use Hindi for everyday situations, from ordering food and asking prices in rupees to finding your way and arranging to meet.

• Read menus, signs, timetables, and short messages, then put what you’ve learned into practice.

With 88 numbered exercises and a complete answer key that includes model responses, you can study independently and check your work as you go. Extra practice pages, script and number references, and a final self-check give you a way to revisit what you’ve learned.

The 132-page A5 paperback has a colour interior and space to write directly on the page.
