throwing in the towel but picking up books

I'm giving up on learning Hindi for now. With only fifty-odd days left before I leave, even if I learned one letter a day I could hardly spell anything. Hindi will be here when I get back. Reading up on history and religion and architecture and all that to provide a more informed context for travel, however, will not.

But you can still learn spoken Hindi without learning the alphabet! :)

DK Publishing has a great little book called Hindi in Three Months which you can actually do in far less, and it's all in Roman script.
