The present English Hindi Conversation Guide is the revised edition.
The present edition forms a part of the
supplementary material prepared for the students of Hindi Correspondence Courses conducted by the Directorate since 1968. A
bulk of this material has, therefore, already been put to use to supplement the study of our students during the course of
last few years.
The material has been subsequently scrutinized and modified by a Committee of linguistics and departmental experts, set up for this purpose.
The present book is intended to be useful to those whose mother tongue is not Hindi and who desire to pick up spoken and conversational forms of Hindi for their day to day dealings. It is equally valuable to the tourists and visitors, who seek to get familiar with the basic conversational patterns of Hindi and employ them during their visits to those areas of the country, where Hindi is the language of common parlance.
Suggestions for improvement in the matter would be appreciated.
