Beware!,
By
This review is from: Estonian Grammar (Uralic & Altaic S.) (Hardcover)
I bought this, thinking this would help me with the grammar of the Estonian language. The title was somehow misleading ;) This is rather an academic work and it's not meant to serve as a "reference grammar" for the learners of the language at all. Most of the book is written using some weird phonetic transcription (no IPA here!). A large part of the book is devoted to phonetics by the way. The kind of phonetics that goes about "Relationship of Sub-laryngeal Activity to Upper Channel Activity" I didn't expect that from the title. In short: useless for Estonian language learners.
