Caveat Emptor!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Colloquial Albanian (Colloquial Series) (Audio CD)
While this may in fact be an excellent resource, be advised that despite "complete course" in the title, and "384" pages in the product description, this is only the c.d. You still have to buy the book seperately (something I might have realized if I had taken notice of the specified dimensions and shipping weight in the product description). Therefore order a la carte and pay approx. $58 for book and cd, or order the "package edition" w/ audio cassetes for $56.95-current availability of the "package edition is 1-2 months-the cd arrived in less than a week and the "book only" is listed as being available to ship w/in 24 hours.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Better if this reflected true Albanian pronunciation, not Kosovo,

This review is from: Colloquial Albanian (Colloquial Series) (Audio CD)
I studied "standard" Albanian years ago, and was disapppointed this book reflects a dialect spoken, really, outside of Albania. Standard Albanian is based on the Tosk (southern) dialect; this book (and audio materials) are based on the Kosovo dialect. The book is fantastic, otherwise. It would be better if the spoken material taught were based on "true" or Standard Albanian as are most dictionaries and phrasebooks.

Very well written and systematic for a good start in the rudiments of the language.
