Foreword

Hindi is one of the world's main languages, with over 650 million speakers in India, and millions more on every continent. There are many primers that teach children who can already speak Hindi-how to read and write their language. As the title Hindi Teacher for English Speaking People suggests, Dr. Ratnakar Narale has written this book with a different audience includes many kinds of people: the inhabitants of non-Hindi-speaking parts of India, Canadians, Americans, and West Indians whose ancestors came from India, but whose first language is English; and many others who have no personal connection to India, but who are interested in Hindi for business purposes, scholarly reasons, or the pleasure of studying a new language.

Hindi Teacher for English Speaking People is logically arranged. It begins by giving students a thorough grounding in the Devanagari script. The characters in taught according to their shape rather than in the usual alphabetical order. This novel method helps learners to keep straight different characters that resemble one another. Direction are given are given on both the pronunciation and the formation of each character, and there is plenty of opportunity to practise reading and writing them. At first, Hindi words are transcribed into the Roman alphabet. As the student learns more and more, however, the transliteration becomes redundant, and its is dispensed with. By the time the learner finishes the first part of the book, he or she will have mastered the vowel, consonants, and conduct characters of Devanagi along the way, the exercises provide a basic vocabulary of several dozen words.

Then comes a section teaching the Hindi numerals, followed by the core of the book, a thorough exposition of Hindi grammar laid out in a systematic order. At each stage, Dr. Narale reminds readers of the principles of English grammar laid out in a systematic order. At each stage, Dr. Narale reminds readers of the principles of English grammar before introducing the corresponding Hindi forms, along the way, hundreds of new words are introduced, and the frequent exercises let the student learn to speak and write Hindi sentences almost without knowing them. Hindi Teachers for English Speaking People closes with exercises in correcting faulty sentences, reading dialogues, telling the time, and writing letters. There are also useful lists of proverbs synonyms and antonyms, and so on, a section on words that resemble each other and hence are easily confused is especially helpful.

Dr. Narale has been careful to draw most of the examples in his book from words and concepts that are familiar to Westerners. This emphasizes that Hindi is a world language, and not merely an Indian one. At the same time, Hindi Teacher or English Speaking People does not shirk the task of introducing some aspects of the culture in which the Hindi language developed. For example, one reading exercise not only provides practice in Devanagari, 'The Hindi World' discusses the Hindi-speaking people of India, Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname and Fiji.

Hindi Teacher for English Speaking People may be used either as a classroom text under the guidance of a teacher, or by students who are studying Hindi on their own. It represents hundreds of hours of careful though and hard effort by Dr. Ratnakar Narale, who is to be felicitated for his work. I heartily commend this book to any person who already knows English and wishes to learn Hindi.
