By Warleybear VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
In many ways I like this book. It complements and adds to other books I have. I'm not sure if you could pick it up as a complete beginner though..... you may need some other basic material to support it. It is sort of 'beginner plus' course.

The real tradgedy is that the book does not contain all the answers to the exercises.......... this makes it difficult at times to see if you have picked up / understood all the material. I cant think why, for the want of a handful or so pages, this information wasn't supplied.

Not a good way to get started 15 Sep 2009
By M. Quinn - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Colloquial Croatian expects far too much of a beginning learner of a foreign language, and the information it does provide is often confusingly explained and organized. When a new grammatical point is introduced, minimal exercises are provided which allow you to practice it, and most of those do not have an answer key. Tables of declensions and conjugations are provided in the back, but in the main text they are replaced instead by verbal explanations which often left me flipping through the pages trying to find the appropriate form. The dialogs and text selections are too numerous and complicated to absorb effectively. Intermediate-level students will find it a useful tool for review and additional learning, while casual learners will find it a place in the recycling.

Badly organized 12 July 2010
By NYC Mike - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book lacks a thorough description of grammar, choosing to selectively omit concepts when the author fiunds it too difficult to tackle. The reader is them left to figure out those concepts by himself because they were too hard to explain -- go figure! The book is also using words not explained in the glossary, and the exercises need words that have not been introduced. The CD does not cover all dialogues.

BUY THE HARD COPY 20 July 2010
By E. ONeill - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This edition does not properly display diacritics on some of the letters (specifically all derivations of c). This is a function of the text encoding on Kindles that means that they can only display western languages. In Croatian, this means that several letters are all being written as one, as if an English reading textbook were printing j, f, and d all as f and you were supposed to learn how to read from that. Buy the hard copy.
