Book is concise and well organized. Solved my immediate translation problems. it is a good companion to the Teach yourself course.

Charles Childers (Toledo , Oh)
and this is a good book.
But I wish it would give a solid elementary grammar lesson instead of skipping around like these language books do.
Nepali language books are few in number.
 uses transliteration but NOT devanagari April 1, 2007

There are two ways to represent Nepali words. first you can write them in Devanagari, which would require that you learn to read Devanagari ( the Sanskrit-based alphabet which they use) or you can use the closest-equivalent transliterated word using the English alphabet. this one just uses the transliteration. If you are serious about stuying Nepali, you would benefit more by getting the Devanagari version ALONG WITH the transliteration - I hope they do this for future editions....

I like this book, but after learning some phrases, I was told by Nepali people that I know that these phrases are not used in everyday life. They told me that those words were not really the way they speak. I guess the book must use more formal language.
