Product Description
Synopsis
An introduction to the language traditionally called Serbo-Croatian, although it is also referred to as Serbian or Croatian. There are two main variants of the language: Croatian (Western) and Serbian (Eastern). Unusual in its equal treatment of the two principal variants, this book presents the two alphabets used (Latin and Cyrillic), the representation of lexical items specific to each variant, and pronunciation and syntactic differences. A dictionary is also included.

Format:Paperback
This book does (intentionally) take a long time to get through, crammed as it is with invaluable information. I can see where A. Allen is coming from, it probably isn't the ideal book for the tourist who wants to learn quickly how to say hello and order a coffee. If that's what you're after, try the colloquial or teach yourself series. If you want a thorough grounding in the grammar and vocabulary, to the point that you can construct meaningful sentences of your own; set aside a few months, prepare yourself for some hard work and buy this book - it's the best there is!

I teach Bosnian at FSI (Foreign Service Institute)and I have extensive experience in teaching this language. From what I have seen, currently available, this is the best guide to learning the predominant language of the former Yugoslavia with concise examples of both the eastern and western variant of the language, a good grammar reference, index and lessons tailored to speakers of the English language. I highly recommend it to anyone studying or teaching this language. Excelently done.

It's very difficult to find materials for learning this language, period. The ones that are out there are generally for tourists who want to know how to order at a restaurant. This book offers useage of the lanugage in a variety of situations and in both major lanuage divisions (I prefer to use East and West as opposed to Serbian and Croatian). It also includes reading material to practice with and an extensive glossary of words used in the text.
Not as enjoyable as the texts written for some languages, with games and humourous explanations, it is however, the best tool I have yet found for learning this language.
