Welcome to Beginner's Hindi!
Is this the right course for you?
This course is designed for people who want a structured but userfriendly
introduction to Hindi, whether studying alone or in a class. It
aims to get you into the world of real Hindi as quickly as possible. Each
of the twelve units prepares you for some new social or practical
situations while also introducing the grammar gradually and simply.
We begin with simple statements and questions using the verb 'to
be'; then the various tenses and other structures are explained,
steadily increasing the range of contexts that you can deal with.
There are plentiful examples and exercises; all numbered questions
are provided with answers, either immediately after the questions, or
at the back of the book. The book often addresses you directly,
asking questions about you and encouraging you to use the language
as you learn it. The carefully graded vocabulary for each unit comes
at the end, with full Hindi-English and English-Hindi glossaries
bringing it all together at the back of the book.

The Sharma family
Most of the dialogues are based on the various members of the
Sharma family, who live in Agra: Geeta (a doctor) and her husband
Raju (a teacher), their children Manoj, Ram and Meena - and a dog,
Moti. Because we're dealing with a set of known characters, it's easy
to see the different levels of formality that are an important feature of
Hindi: for example, we hear the children being addressed less
formally than adults and strangers. One or two subsidiary characters,
such as Pratap (a student visiting England), also appear in the book
Teach Yourself Hindi, which gives a more detailed introduction to
the language.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:11:57
script and pronunciation
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:12:08
The Hindi script, called 'Devanagari', is an extremely systematic
writing system: each character represents a particular sound, making
it the perfect guide to pronunciation. Although a 'roman'
transliteration is given throughout the book, the small effort required
to learn Devanagari is very well worthwhile!
Listen out for two important contrasts in pronunciation. The first is
between 'retroflex' consonants (pronounced with the tongue
touching the roof of the mouth, giving a 'hard' sound of the kind
associated with Indian pronunciations of words like 'doctor') and
'dental' consonants (pronounced with the tongue touching the upper
teeth, giving a 'soft' sound as in an Italian pronunciation of 'I tali a').
The second contrast is between 'unaspirated' and 'aspirated'
consonants, such as the pair क ka and ख kha - the first is much less
'breathy' than the second. Vowel sounds are very 'clean': the vowel
ए e is more like the vowels in French 'ete' than in English 'mayday'.

The recordings
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:12:31
This book is accompanied by recordings which will help bring the
language alive for you. They introduce the sounds of Hindi, present
the dialogues and other features from the book, and go beyond the
book with several further listening and speaking exercises that will
build your confidence in using Hindi in real conversations. Pause the
recording whenever you need time to think, and practise imitating the
Hindi voices as closely as possible, speaking out loud.

Where does this book lead?
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:12:54
After finishing this book, you may like to look at Teach Yourself
Hindi, by Rupert Snell with Simon Weightman: this gives more
detail on the grammar, and plenty of reading practice. The web-based
course A Door into Hindi (
www.ncsu.eduIproject/hindiJessons) has
an interactive approach to the learning process; and Hindi films also
offer a brilliant way of getting to know the language and the culture
it expresses. Most importantly of all, you will find some 400 million
Hindi-speakers waiting to talk to you: start speaking Hindi today!
Dictionaries: Rupert Snell's Beginner's Hindi DictionaIYis designed
for learners and gives a lot of help with sentence formation, while the
Oxford Hindi-English DictionaIY by R.S. McGregor is what you
need if you want to start reading Hindi newspapers and magazines,
many of which are available on the internet.

The Hindi script and sounds
Although a roman transliteration is provided for all the Hindi in this book, learning to read and write the Devanagari script is extremely worthwhile. Its phonetic basis makes it really easy to learn; and if you're in India, being able to read the Hindi all around you in signs and posters will bring its own reward, even before you start reading
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:14:11
more ambitiously. As you begin to learn Devanagari, there's a very useful web-based 'Hindi script tutor' to help you learn the characters and their sounds:
http://www.avashy.comIhindiscripttutor.htm; this website, devised by Richard Woodward, teaches and tests the script inter-actively, and demonstrates the sounds of Hindi. And for a detailed introduction to Devanagari, see Rupert Snell, Beginner's Hindi Script (Hodder & Stoughton, 2000).
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:14:23
The best way to learn the script is to copy out each character several times, pronouncing its sound as you do so. Start with the consonants. Each basic consonant is actually a complete syllable: for example the sign 'क stands for not just the consonant 'k' but the whole syllable 'ka'; it will sound similar to the first syllable of the word 'cup'. The 'a' vowel is always there unless replaced by some other vowel indicated by a special vowel sign. More on this later: for now, concentrate on copying and learning the consonants.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:14:35
Write on lined paper, with the top line of the character falling on the printed line, and the rest of the character hanging below.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:14:45
Aspiration
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:15:01
In the descriptions of the Hindi sounds you'll see many references to 'aspiration' - the amount of breath that escapes from the mouth when a sound is spoken. In English, the initial 'k' of 'kick' is strongly aspirated, the closing 'ck' much less so. In Hindi, such differences are represented by pairs of consonants such as क ka
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:15:14
(unaspirated) and ख kha (aspirated). English consonants fall halfway between the two, so you'll have to make a special effort to cut back your aspiration for the one, and increase it for the other! All these things are best dealt with by listening to the recordings, and/or by asking a Hindi-speaker to demonstrate them for you.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:15:26
On the facing page you'll find all the main characters of the script set out in a table; then each character is set out separately with its handwritten equivalent, and a note on pronunciation. The consonants are dealt with first (as is the tradition), though in dictionary order the vowels precede the consonants.

फ pha Aspirated version of the above
ब ba As in 'bun'.
भ bha Aspirated version of the above
म ma As in 'moon'.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:18:43
Now for a sequence of four characters called 'semi-vowels';
य ya As in 'yes'.
र ra As in 'roll' - but lightly rolled
ल la As in 'lullaby', but softer, more dental.
व va Neither a buzzy sound as in 'visa', nor as
rounded as in 'we', but halfway between.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:19:00
We're nearly done. Here are three 'sibilants':
श sha As 'sh' in 'ship'; pronounced's' in some
regional accents.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:19:11
ष shaa Strictly speaking a 'cerebral' (in which the tongue touches a high point in the roof of the mouth); but usually pronounced 'sh', the same as the previous character, श s'a. It occurs in loanwords from Sanskrit only
स sa as in sip
and finally an aspirate:
ह ha as in help
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:19:22
You'll have noticed that some characters have 'dotted' versions: these are for sounds which go beyond the range of Sanskrit, the classical language for which the script was first devised. They are क़ qa,ख() kha ,ग़ग़ ga. ज़ z.a,
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:19:32
and r.a (typically for words borrowed from Arabic and Persian) and ड(). r.a ढ़ rha (late developers in the long history of Indian anguages). These characters are not distinguished in dictionary order from their undotted equivalents. The showing of dots in print is often rather haphazard - but not in this book!
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:19:43
Remember that each consonant contains an inherent 'a' vowel as part of the deal. But it's important to notice that this 'inherent vowel' is not pronounced at the end ofa word: thus the word for 'all',सब ,reads sab (not 'saba'), and the word for 'simple', सरल , reads saral (not 'sarala'). Armed with this information you can now read and write these words:
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:19:55
कब kab when?
जब jab when
तब tab then
पर par but; on

回复老百姓(445485034) 23:20:18
In the words महल mahal and शहर shahar, the ह् ha has the effect of 'lightening' the adjacent vowels, making them sound more like the 'e' in 'mend' than the 'u' in 'mundane' (this will vary somewhat from speaker to speaker). Elsewhere, Hindi is remarkably free of such contextual changes: the Hindi script is a 'what you see is what you get' system.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:20:28
Thevowels
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:20:40
A vowel sign is used when a vowel follows a consonant. It's a small mark that is added to the consonant, and it replaces the 'a' that is otherwise present as the inherent vowel. The examples below show the vowel 'e' added to the consonants "कka,ख kha, गga and घgha.
के ke कहे khe गे ge घे ghe
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:20:52
here now is the full range of such vowel signs,based on क -
का kaa A long vowel, as in 'calm'.
कि ki A short vowel, as in 'kipper'.
की kii A long version of the above, as in 'keep
कु ku Short, as in 'put'.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:21:08
कू kuu A long version of the above, as in 'food'.
कृ kri. A very short 'ri' sound, as in 'thrill'.It only occurs in Sanskrit loanwords.
के ke Like the French e in 'ete'; not a rounded sound as in English 'payday'.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:21:19
कै kai Similar to the vowel in 'cap', but flatter
को ko A pure '0', less rounded than in 'cold'.
कौ kau Similar to the vowel in 'hot'.
And here's some more reading and writing practice:
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:21:30

कृपाkrpa kindness
खड़ा (khada) khara standing

回复老百姓(445485034) 23:21:52
At this point you should practise writing out these vowel signs attached to all the consonants until they become really familiar.
These vowel signs can only be used when they have a consonant sign to cling to. In other positions, such as at the beginning of a word, the vowel is written with a vowel character. The first in the list is the 'inherent' vowel:
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:22:02
अ a
आ aa
इ i

अब ab mow

ए e एक ek one
ऐ ai ऐसा aisa such
ओ o ओर or direction
औ au और aur and
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:22:26
And here are three words in which vowel characters appear as the second of two equential vowels (i.e. neither at the beginning of a word nor after a consonant):
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:22:36
कई kai 'several' -ई i follows the syllable "क ka;
उबाऊ ubau 'boring' - ऊ uu follows the syllable बाba;
बनाओ banao 'make' - ओ o follows the syllable ना naa.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:22:48
Conjunct characters
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:22:58
When two consonant sounds come together without an intervening vowel, we have to cancel or 'kill off' the inherent vowel of the first consonant. For example, in the word 'Hindi' there is no 'a' betw the 'n' and the 'd', so a shortened form of the first consonant, न , is physically joined to the second consonant, द, giving हिन्दी hindii.

When र is the first character of a compound it turns into a little curl (called रेफ reph) above the second character:

र+थ=र्थी (rthi) विद्यार्थी vidyarthi student
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:23:53
The reph comes at the very end of the syllable in words like शर्मा sharma (where it's above the vowel sign T) and like विद्यार्थी vidyarthi (where it's above the vowel sign T).
When र is the second character of a compound it turns into a little slanting line, tucked into a convenient nook of the first character:

ग +र =ग्र सिग्रेट sigret cigarette

回复老百姓(445485034) 23:24:29
Most conjuncts are easy to read, but there are some in which the
conjunct has limited resemblance to its component parts, and these
have to be learnt as new characters in their own right:
क+त=क्त भक्ति bhakti devotion
क + ष=क्ष रक्षा rakashaa protection

The rare character जन jna is a conjunct of ज with ना na, a nasal consonant (like the first 'n' in 'onion') that is not shown in our table because it never occurs alone; jna is usually pronounced 'gy'.When pronouncing doubled consonants, just 'hold' the sound momentarily, as in distinguishing 'night train' from 'night rain'.Practise with कुत्ता kutta 'dog', बिल्ली billi 'cat', बच्च bacca 'child'.
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:25:00
Nasals
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:25:08
A nasalized vowel is produced by diverting part of the breath through
the nose: speak while pinching your nose to hear what it sounds like!
Nasalization is marked with a sign called candrabindu, 'moon-dot':
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:25:18
हाँ han yes
कहाँ kahan where?
यहाँ yahan here
If there's a vowel sign above the top line, there won't be room for the moon (candra) , so the dot (bindu) is used alone:
नहीं nahin no
कहीं kain somewhere
यहीं yahin right here
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:25:29
Nasalizing a vowel can change.the meaning, as with है hai 'is' and है hai 'are'. Similarly, while यहीं yahin means 'right here', यही yahi means 'this one, this very one' - a completely different word!
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:25:39
Our little dot has a second function also (here with a new name -'anusviir');it can be used to indicate an 'n' or 'm' when such a letter is the first element of a conjunct:
अंडा=अणडा anda egg
हिंदी =हिन्दी hindi Hindi
लंबा=लम्बा lamba long, tall
回复老百姓(445485034) 23:25:51
Other signs
The word दु :ज्ख duhkh sorrow' includes the colon-like sign called 'visarga'; this rare sign indicates a lightly pronounced 'h' sound.In situations where it's not possible or convenient to write or print a conjunct, an inherent vowel can be cancelled by hanging a little line called 'viram' below it: चड्डी caddi underpants'.
