Teach Yourself Ukrainian Complete Course (Teach Yourself Books)

Rating:
Summary: Good basic book
Review: Book is very good, maybe a little bit too easy for me because of working in Russia couple of years, but very good book to learn basic Ukrainian. Not enough exercicies and not enough grammatics.

Summary: excellent book for the beginning ukrainian student
Review: from the beginning, this book easily guides the novice learner through the alphabetic pronunciations, including a brief history of the language. also provided are block & cursive writing styles with simple word comparisons to make the learning easier. ample examples & reading text abound, lots of material to use but without the intimidation factor. a good read, this book is a definite must-have for the ukrainian student's bookshelf. the only thing missing is a person to talk to!

Summary: Worth buying!
Review: I had monopolized this book from the local library all summer, then finally purchased my own copy. It is a good way to learn some basic Ukrainian. I found it more relevant than some of the other books I had borrowed. The pronunciation guide was very helpful, as was showing the cursive alphabet. I also ordered the tape, not received yet, because it will be useful to hear the oral portion instead of bothering relatives all the time.
