This simple and effective introduction to Hindi teaches everything one needs to speak, understand, read, and write in Hindi. This program assumes no background in the language and includes: a course book and six audio CDs; two unique sets of recordings, one for use with the book, and a second for use anywhere to review and reinforce; natural dialogues, clear grammar notes, vocabulary building, and key expressions; plenty of practice, both written and recorded; notes on culture, cuisine, history, geography, and more; real life "discovery" activities and internet resources; and, an extensive two-way glossary.
