The 10 lessons on these tapes teach you to say you don't understand Croatian and invite someone for a drink (in the restaurant or the hotel ?) and apart from a list of words for reading practice there is no written material. But it's good pronounciation practice to complement a "teach yourself" book. If a little expensive.

Amazingly effective

I have all of the Croatian tapes on the market and none can compare to the Pimsleur tapes. Before getting this series I had despaired of ever learning this language. I was astonished at how quickly I have learned and retained the information presented here.
I just returned from my third trip to Croatia. For the first time I was able to get the sense of conversations as well as communicate with some confidence. I only wish there was an intermediate level. The Pimsleur method is a remarkable approach to learning a language. It is the first language series that I have used that really lives up to its hype.

Great set for travellers!
25 Nov 2002
The Pimsleur Language Program gives the student a thorough grasp of basic vocabulary and expressions through an interesting style of memory work. Working through the tapes in chronological order truly does provide the best results, as each tape builds upon the one prior. Vocabulary and phrases from previous tapes are reviewed at varying intervals throughout the course to trigger the memory's alertness and focus.
As the title of this review states, this set is most appropriate for travellers. It is also; however, an excellent introduction to the Croatian language for anyone with an interest in the language. The amount of knowlege contained in this course is somewhat limited: I found myself wishing for another few tapes to really 'complete' the course.

BUY IT!
4 May 2000
Truly, these tapes were wonderful. As a language teacher myself, I found it an eye-opening experience. Pimsleur has just the right length in his pauses for you to recall the right word or phrase. Its an excellent, easy way to learn a language. I would add, however, it really is for the beginner to gain a measure of small understanding for Croatian, not anywhere near fluency. Still, the pronunciation is quite good, according to a native speaker I know.
