Hindi Dictionary

by Rupert Snell

"Hindi Dictionary" is the only two-way, English-Hindi and Hindi-English, dictionary on the market. It is ideal for beginners in Hindi and is an ideal companion to "Teach Yourself Hindi" or "Teach Yourself Beginner's Hindi". It also goes beyond the basic vocabulary level of these two books to a wider range of contexts. The dictionary is both compact and reliable. Entries have been chosen based on research into high frequency words in Hindi and there are lots of examples of phrase formation and usage. If you are following a taught course in Hindi, teaching yourself or planning a visit to India, this dictionary will help you to express yourself with confidence.

Am currently using this to learn Hindi, slowly but surely. Am actually creating my own dictionary - first was hand written, but now have started using Baraha to do it on the computer. Very time intensive! But I want to have a dictionary that includes word origins and word usages, just like a high-end english dictionary. And the process of creating it is of course a useful learning process. Just wish I could have more lifetimes to live, one is too restrictive!
Anyway, this one is pretty good I guess (don't really know enough to judge), their use of transliteration is inconsistent, which is among the reasons I'm creating my own.
