These drill patterns follow the order of Beginners Hindi but can of course be used quite
independently of this book. They are designed to help you assimilate the essential structures
of Hindi. Practise them alone, or with other learners, or in a class with a teacher. Its best to
use them by speaking out loud.
Once you get used to the way each pattern works, you can extend it with new examples or
new vocabulary. You will find that your confidence in speaking grows very satisfyingly if you
have assimilated whole phrases and clauses, rather than just individual words and abstract
grammar rules. Even when you have gone quite far in the course, its worth going back to drill
the more basic constructions. This is the root of fluency.
