Learn Albanian: Mesoni Shqip Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cezar Kurti's "Learn Albanian" is a very useful tool for those who are interested in learning the Albanian language. It is broken up into 40 lessons, with two review sections as the 10th and 20th lessons, respectively; also, the last two lessons are just translating passages to put to use what all the previous lessons have taught. While it is covers a great deal of the language, it must be noted that no one book can fully cover all the grammar and vocabulary of a foreign language. Nevertheless, all the major aspects are well covered, and will allow for sufficient usage when learned.The lessons themselves follow the paradigm of starting off with a passage in Albanian, with its translation below. This is proceeded by grammar lessons, exercises for the grammar, and concludes with vocabulary. The paragraphs cover a variety of situations that one would most likely encounter and need to use the language - restaurants, hotels, etc.. It is effective in helping the learner to become aware of how Albanian is expressed in conversation. Another "bonus" to the paragraphs, is that a good deal about Albania and its history is learned as well. The grammar lessons are broken down in each section to provide the learner with just enough information that (s)he will not be overwhelmed. And the vocabulary is thorough for each section. There is even a brief Albanian-English/English-Albanian dictionary at the very end. The main reason that I did not give a 5th star to this book, is that I felt - even though the grammar exercises were mostly readily comprehendible - there should also be an "answer key" as a means of confirmation. But overall, this book is very worthwhile. To learn more Albanian vocabulary, I also recommend the pocketbook "Albanian-English/English-Albanian Dictionary & Phrasebook" by Ramazan John Hysa - this for more practical vocabulary. But for in depth vocabulary, I also recommend "Albanian-English Dictionary" (Hippocrene Comprehensive) and "Oxford English-Albanian Dictionary".

Speak Standard Indonesian: A Beginner's Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was a valuable interpreting resource material for me. It can be argued that - although Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is increasingly perceived as a separate language from Malaysian (Bahasa Malaysia) - there are still significant speakers of both Indonesian and Malaysian/ Malay who regard that they are both dialectical branches of the same language. I, for one agree with the latter view.
It is definitely not intended to novice or beginners of either languages but it is ideal for speakers of Malaysian Malay who would like to know about the basic differences of the Malaysian and Indonesian dialects. This book bridges the gaps between these two variants of the Malay languages.
Liaw Yock Fang has definitely contributed to the advancement of the Malay language as the major Lingua Franca of South East Asia. Thanks.

Wham Its a Poetry Jam: Discovering Performance Poetry Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Of course, I am not advocating robbery, but all of the books that I put on my shelves by Sara disappear. This book will be another of those. I teach high school English to 9th graders and her books have broad appeal with my struggling readers and to my honor students. She speaks to the adolescent in all of them including me. It, however, is a great book for teachers to use to begin working on the art of performance poetry and poetry slams with your students. So if you are not afraid of a little noise, enthusiasm and excitement in your class then Wham ---get your own copy to jam with Sara and your students!
