  • consistent terminology across chapters and units;
  • short paragraphs, lists, and tables for improved readability;
  • logical progression of concepts, especially for beginner learners;
  • gradual introduction of the Devanagari (dewanāgarī) script, with recognition and understanding developed before production;
