I have been studying Hindi but have few occasions to practice. My conjugations are therefore still not quite solid in my mind and knowing myself, I know I just need to do plenty of fill in the blank exercises to make things automatic for me and to stop thinking of how I need to conjugate each time I want to utter a phrase in Hindi.

I have been looking high and low for a book that will include a good amount of fill in the blank exercises. Snell's exercises are good but I would want even more... I have looked for this type of exercises online also and am still to find a good batch.

Would anyone kindly recommend a good Hindi exercise book?

Many thanks in advance. :-)

The Hindi Grammars written by Usha Jain have the best exercises that I have seen. You can see them referenced in this thread, or on amazon (1, 2). Her exercises resemble the sort of thing you'd see in a French grammar, for example.

As an aside, if you do pick up those books, you might also be interested in her Intermediate Hindi Reader.

Good luck! Smiley

Edited to add:

Actually, on second thought, perhaps these books are not a good choice for self-study as the exercises do not have an answer key. Still, if you wanted to get feedback or help on particular exercises here, I'm sure someone would do so.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, James  Smiley

I am definitely going to check the Usha Jain books and have someone help me check the answers. I was really looking for a grammar that would allow me to practice practice practice and am so glad to have this reference! Thanks again! :-)

I have been using Elementary Hindi and the Workbook you can buy along with it. It is a bit pricey but I feel like it is really helping me get a handle on the language. There are plenty of exercises if you have the workbook. It has boosted my confidence quite a bit and I feel like it was worth the price.
