You understand more Hindi than you can say. This book closes that gap.
If you can follow a conversation but freeze the moment it is your turn, the problem is not vocabulary. It is assembly - which ending goes on the verb, where the little words sit, why one sentence used ne and the next one did not. Hindi Made Practical is a pre-intermediate course built entirely around that problem.
Every word of Hindi in this book is written in the Roman alphabet, in one consistent spelling scheme explained in the first chapter and held to the last page. There is no Devanagari. That is a deliberate choice: it lets you put all of your attention on structure rather than on decoding a script. The book says so openly and tells you where to learn the script when you want it.
Every example sentence comes with a word-by-word gloss showing the Hindi order and the job each word is doing, then a natural English translation. The gloss is where the learning happens.
What's inside
- A short pronunciation chapter and one clear romanisation scheme, used consistently throughout
- The sentence frame, gender and number agreement, and the oblique case
- Being and having - the three different ways Hindi says "I have"
- The postpositions, and what they do to the words in front of them
- The present habitual and continuous, and why the difference matters
- The past tenses and the ne construction, explained slowly and completely
- The future, the subjunctive, and how intentions are expressed
- tu, tum and aap - what choosing between them signals, and how to soften a request
- Compound verbs, the single biggest difference between textbook Hindi and natural Hindi
- Joining clauses: ki, agar, jab tak, the jo-vo pairs, and the -kar participle
- Questions, numbers, time, money and dates
- Four situation chapters: arranging and changing a booking, shopping and prices, complaining politely, and small talk that survives its first pause
- Common learner errors, with the correction, in every chapter
- Exercises with answers at the end of each chapter, plus a full review appendix, a glossary with genders marked, and a hundred sentences worth memorizing

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
