Complete Nepali Beginner to Intermediate Course: Learn to read, write, speak and understand a new language (Teach Yourself)

I picked this up so I could speak more to my wife's family. The book itself provides fantastic explanations of the grammar and walks you through stories to learn.While the book tells you to use flashcards to learn Devanagari, I recommend just using Duolingo Hindi and 100% the alphabet, then return to this book.The audio is available for free download online from the complete website. I only wish the audio included the vocabulary lists as well, but it's great for those without a Nepali speaker on hand.

Very well written, follows a way train of thought for learning. Take your time on the lessons that are harder for you and do every exercise.

My wife and I are learning Nepali and as previous language learners we did find this book to be helpful, especially the included compact discs which really help you to get a feel for the pace and accent of native speakers. I wouldn't say this is quite the "Nepali for Dummies", it's a tad more advanced than it seems. It will, however, get you into a very difficult language in a relatively short time. Being a learning process, I don't think you can really compare how quickly one would learn verses another method, but for presenting Nepali in a way that is logical and the discs really help you learn faster.

the audio cd is not in this package.... i ordered a replacement and got the same, a book with no cd. The audio files can be downloaded. so the cd is probably discontinued, that is fine, but change the description - so we don't waste our time trying to get a cd that is no longer included.... the customer service menus don't have the ability to take a simple question like "can a cd be sent?" and give a simple answer "no" ..... that would have saved me time and Amazon the unnecessary shipping costs.... I like the book, i am not a beginner, have lived in Nepal for some time now...

It was also organized in a great way... When combined with speaking to actual Nepalis and a few beginner pdfs I have been on a fast track :-)

Our son is serving a Mission for our church & is working with a lot of Nepalese people. He's greatly appreciated the help this book has given, so he can communicate his feelings effectively.

This is the best book to learn Nepali. I highly recommend it! It has everything you need to begin speaking like a native.

The discription says, "This pack includes a book and one MP3 CD of audio material" but it was not included. The book is useless without being able to listen to the sounds and dialogues.
