Why is Hindi so unpopular? I mean, I think more people learn Dutch than study Hindi, despite it being one of the most widely spoken language in the world and very much the lingua franca of India (perhaps along with English too).

Elementary Hindi teaches you a more formal Hindi, not the colloquial Hindi you hear in Bollywood movies or on the streets of India (so you learn Sanskritized vocabulary like PUSTAK instead of everyday KITAB, both meaning ''a book'')).
Teach yourself Hindi is much better (but look for the newest version, the older ones are like Elementary Hindi, too separated from everyday Hindi). Teach yourself series also feature Latin-script-transliteration for the 1st 10 lessons. Elementary Hindi is [dev'nagri]-only right from the start.

Elementary Hindi is good and it doesn't only give you formal hindi it gives you more modern uses as well. Pimsleur
also has a course for spoken hind and is very good as well. 1 person has voted this message useful |
