1.0 out of 5 stars Not conducive to "teaching yourself" 19 Aug 2005
By W. Inouye - Published on Amazon.com
While many of the books in this series are quite useful, the Czech edition is extremely unhelpful. In addition to a tendency to stray into topics that you will never use (e.g., "Cleaning Liba's Wardrobe"), it offers very unclear explanations for a language with a very complex grammar. I lived in the Czech Republic for six months, and I don't think I once found this book useful. If you would like a resource that will help you learn this crazy (but fascinating!) language, try "Cestina pro cizince" or "Communicative Czech".

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners 14 July 2004
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This course starts with the Czech alphabet then immediately throws you into a complex conversations. Often times the book and audio do not match. If you are a beginner, this is not for you. Definitely not for a person just wanting to learn the basics for travel. Save your money and search elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great comprehensive study of Czech - but be wary - the language is HARD! 18 Aug 2007
By Keith - Published on Amazon.com
I've been studying Czech out of this book since July 2006. It's the only comprehensive overview of the Czech language out there, and it's great. The book is very well written and edited. It's very concise and explains everything you need to know about the language in a logical and sequential way. If you are truly devoted to learning the language in depth, this is the book for you. Be aware however, you will need to make flashcards, listen to Czech internet radio and rent Czech movies, take notes from the book, and perhaps purchase Josef Fronek's Czech-English dictionary. If you really want to put the time in - this is the book for you. But it's VERY difficult, and is like doing a Sudoku puzzle every time you sit down to read it.

If you just want to learn a couple of useful phrases, check out the in-flight Czech CD or Berlitz's tape on Czech expressions. Stay away from the Pimsleur 5CD set, because it's extremely boring.
