3.0 out of 5 stars Good for travelers and those with causal iterest, January 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Language/30: Serbo-Croatian (Audio Cassette)

Don't be confused by the reviewer who claims that there is no such thing as a Serbo-Croatian language. This miscomception is often spread by nationalists of one side or another. The differences between Serbian and Croatian exist, as they exist between dialects of other languages (such as Italian and German). This guide leans toward the Croatian dialect, which is appropriate as one is more likely to travel in Craotia and one is more likely to be badly received for speaking Serbian in Croatia than vice versa. (In Bosnia it would depend on what part of the country one was in, but people aren't quite as uptight as they once were about using the "wrong" word or pronunciation in their particular area).

It is especially useful for travelers and those with a general interest in learning the language. Unfortunately, there are very very few materials out there for the serious student of the language spoken in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for those traveling to Croatia, February 18, 1999

This book & audio tapes are useful for those who are traveling in Croatia and need to know tourist information. The tapes are great to learn the pronunciations. However, this book & tape combination is not for those who want to learn and become fluent in the language.

EXCELLENT PRONUNCIATIONS, AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SET TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN SERBIAN OR CROATIAN. THISW IS AN EXCELLENT COMPANION TO HAWKESWORTH'S COLLOQUIAL CROATIAN AND SERBIAN COURSE.
