I also purchased the Workbook and the two together are necessary, I would say, if you really want to progress as effectively as possible in your learning journey. I have found the chapters very well structured for progressive learning of Hindi letters, pronunciation, vocab and grammatical principles. Also, I didn’t have any problems with the CD -I loaded it onto iTunes and have found the sound quality absolutely fine and help with my learning of Hindi pronunciation.I’ve learnt a number of languages to a basic level over the years and have found this to be the best book for learning a language out of all I have encountered. If you want to learn Hindi in an in-depth way (ie building up by learning grammatical principles), then I highly recommend this book. If you want to maybe learn for a trip abroad, it may be a little heavy going. I wish all language tutors were like this book. Top marks for what I needed. ### ⭐⭐ Not for everyone - Absolutely Awful mp3! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 12 September 2014* While I do agree this is a good method of Hindi my review will be far less stellar than the ones that convinced me to buy it.First be warned that this is a "serious" method of hindi written by a university professor and probably inspired from his classes. It is NOT targeted at the casual learner and is not more adapted for the classroom than for the self learner.The method for example does not use the "crutches" of any romanisation/transliteration system for beginners and only use the devanagari script. Which means the absolute beginner will spend the first 6 lessons learning to read and write before he is exposed to his first dialogue in Hindi....Likewise the method is more focussed on grammatical patterns than on colloquial usage.Nothing wrong with that if you're bookish in your approach to language learning - but is you're more of a hands-on/ communicative person this method will make you very frustrated.What really brings this method down to 2 stars for me is the inexcusable lack of quality of the mp3 recordings.First the sound quality is awful - the voices are blurred by reverberation and background noise. Think of a 1980's amateur tape recording made in a garage and you'll get the idea...(we're in 2014 for heaven's sake!)Second the reading/acting is terrible - The speakers are native but they just drone on without putting any tone or emotion in their delivery.Finally please note that the majority of the recordings can only be used with the workbook (sold separately) and are useless on their own. Out of 140 mp3 files about 30 are usable with the textbook ALL the others are "workbook activities".....This being said there aren't that many usable Hindi methods on the market and none are perfect... so let's say that this is one of the better ones... but still a far, far shot from reaching the quality found for other languages. ### ⭐ No CD Included and requires workbook *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 1 April 2023* This seems t be aimed at liguists rather than people trying to "Communicate in Everyday Situation".The rccomended workbook should be included as part of a package rather than having to be purchased separately at significant cost.There's No CD included with the book although there is free online audio. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/142233092-elementary-hindi-mp3-audio-cd-included](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/142233092-elementary-hindi-mp3-audio-cd-included) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
