I have bought Rosetta Stone but haven't started it. I'll let you know how it goes.

I've been using Rosetta Stone. So far so good. I like their system of not translating anything into English. It's very intuitive.

Wendy and Jennifer. I appreciate your help so much! I think that Rosetta Stone is a bit out of the ballpark cost wise for me, and that would leave me with just a few cents left to buy any new Bollywood movies ! :)

I have checked out clips on Youtube,as well as books on Amazon. Some of the clips are quite good, and the ones for children are quite a kick to watch.

Have either one of you read the book "Dreaming in Hindi, Coming Awake in Another Language" by  Katherine Russell Rich ? It is an interesting read.

Nope, I haven't heard of the book- I'll to check that out but I swear, I am not kidding you, I dream in Hindi sometimes! LOL Also, as I listen to songs that I have "seen" several times in the movie, my brain automatically translates, I am hoping this bodes well for me. Wish me luck and good luck to you guys too!

No doubt about it, Hindi is hard! But watching hundreds of movies in that language certainly helps one learn it.

I suggest you keep watching the movies with the subtitles and then sometime without them. Learning the script and grammar can be a pain, its better to learn conversational first.
