About this book

English speakers are the intended learners of this practical Hindustani manual, which combines grammar instruction with vocabulary and exercises. One grammar note explains how future forms can express a condition or an intention, with examples translated into English. Everyday entries cover such needs as asking how long something takes and reporting a person. A short moral reading follows a girl who gives her sweets to a hungry blind man, then offers vocabulary to help students work through the story.
