Excellent

Book cam on time brand new but recycle material. This book is written by a professor who has very strong back ground both English and Nepali literature.I am Nepali and I bought this book for my dearly wife who's mother tongue is not Nepali. Now with help of this book she is learning Nepali faster than I thought.

good book

This seems to be a very good book. I'm not that far yet though.

Good nepali language learning guide

This book is a good guide to the basics of the spoken nepali language. You will get a good grasp of all the basics of grammar, reading, writing, and speaking. It moves at a fairly good pace and includes some insights into the Nepali culture and way of life too. I had the chance to take a Nepali class at Cornell this summer and my professor knew both authors very well and held them both in high regards for their expertise in designing an effective language learning guide. I gave it four stars because it does not touch on the importance of 'boltaciko nepali' colloquial nepali, or slang. You will find in your encounters with Nepali nationals that much like English their language is one that is not spoken the way it is presented in the grammar book. Keep this in mind as you learn, but I would highly recommend the book, to give you a strong foundation, and if you master it's contents you will be well on your way to being an effective speaker.

A complete guide to learning Nepali

This book is an excellent resource for learning the language. It has an incredible pronounciation section and sections of dialogue that help also in understanding the culture of Nepal. i really recommend this book for somebody who is interested in fully undestanding the languauge. The writing section is also very helpful if you with to learn Nepali script. Be sure to also order the tape that accompanies the book because it helps to hear the pronounciation keys as well.
