What You'll Learn
This Hindi program includes all of Pimsleur's Hindi Levels 1 & 2. With this program you start from zero, first learning survival phrases and vocabulary, and eventually progressing to a mid-intermediate level of speaking, understanding, and reading Hindi.
Every lesson contains an introductory conversation, and isolated vocabulary and structures, as well as full practice for all vocabulary introduced. Emphasis is on pronunciation and comprehension. At the completion of this course, you'll be able to speak comfortably about things that happened in the past and make plans for the future; you'll speak confidently using your wide-ranging vocabulary, and experience the Hindi language and culture with a deepening insight.
Reading Lessons are included to provide you with an introduction to reading Hindi. These lessons, which total about one hour for each level, are designed to teach you to sound out words with correct pronunciation and accent.
Learning the sound of each letter alone and in culturally distinct combinations allows your brain to process what you're hearing in the audio lessons from a new and different perspective. It's a powerful combination that makes Pimsleur different from every other method on the market.
