Teach Yourself Nepali

n
OK - this is my first post and if it is all going to plan you should be able to see a photo of my Nepali flashcards which I am endeavouring to learn before I touch down on Thursday. I was hoping for a few phrases but the book tells me I must learn all the characters first. I'm about two thirds of the way through now which is not too bad. Although from what I understand now the language is pretty complex with different characters (for the same sound) being used depending on the letter preceding it. And I think my handwriting will inhibit me somewhat - they're not exactly identical to the printed versions!
