4.0 out of 5 stars Good handbook for everyone, August 10, 2001

This review is from: Slovak for You (Slovecina Pre Vas) (Paperback)

When I was in Slovakia this summer, I really wanted to learn Slovak language. Thus "Slovak for you" was the first handbook I found in a bookstore. The content of it is satisfying for me. The book includes many dialogues taken from usual life in Slovakia. It has also wide comments on grammatical topics. Of course, there are books which focus mainly on it. But the book by Bohmerova is good enough for every beginner - speaker of English (not only as a mother tongue).

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for tourists or beginners, September 10, 2002

This review is from: Slovak for You (Slovecina Pre Vas) (Paperback)

I lived in Slovakia for two years, during which I had to pick up the language mostly by myself. When I discovered this book partway into the second year I was delighted. It is excellent for any English speaker, easy to understand and very to follow. The only drawback is for missionaries and diplomats - those who are MOVING to the country. By the time you get to the chapters on grocery shopping and going to the post office you might have died of starvation! Skip to these right away and don't be afraid to take the book with you into stores. Have a good time!

_Slovak for You_ shows grammatical usage and the Slovakian vocabulary. I would prefer a chart detailing declension and conjugation of Slovakian words. There's a handwriting sample, for ex. the "t's" and "z's." This book is one of the better Slovakian books that I've seen.
