I write this with the perspective of someone who's learned several languages. The book is seriously flawed as a self-instruction course. Explanations as to the workings of grammatical points, such as hard and soft nouns, are incomplete; there are not enough practice dialogues; more vocabulary and grammar is introduced at the early stages than exercises with which to practice and reinforce what one has learned. From chapter 8 onwards things begin to look up, but I will be looking for another book to get myself up to the level required for chapter 8 of the Hugo book. At that point, I might return to the Hugo book, as it has a lovely sense of humor in the later dialogues, well worth learning for colloquial conversation.
