 Good Romanina Book, Especially for a "Teach Yourself" Book May 30, 2008
Brandon Simpson (Northern Kentucky)
When I decided to learn a little bit about Romanian, I had a hard time finding good resources. I was very apprenhensive about getting this book because I've used other books in the "Teach Yourself" series, and they are for the most part very mediocre. And most of them don't even teach the language in a logical order.
This book, however, does teach Romanian in a logical manner. (If you're wondering what I mean by logical order, here's why: I have "Teach Yourself Hindi," and it's extremely hard to learn the language because it teaches things at random.)
I would recommend using this book with "Romanian Dictionary & Phrasebook" by Mihai Miroiu. You should also practice your pronunciation with a native speaker.

 HOOKED AND COLLAPSED!!! April 12, 2008
Jordi ROMERO DIAZ (Barcelona, Spain)
Well, I started this self-learning course in Rumanian and I am hooked form the begining, but trapped and cannot go through at the 5th lesson, when it comes to speak about the Rumanian conjugation in Present Simple. There is no proper method for memorizing this four kind of verbs according to their ending and as the dialogues and the book is going through the estimated learning of the present to present you the other tenses, I am trapped asnd cannot pass that chapter. What should I do? I have reviewerd other chapters forward and I have observed that there is a good way for explaining the other tenses, but not the main one, the Present!

This teaching method is not very user friendly - it focuses on vocabulary and verb tenses rather than conversation. I much prefer the Pimsleur method.
Lacks Thoroughness and Full of Typos August 10, 2007

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
When I first started learning Romanian on my own, I thought this book was very useful, and I'd still say it is if you just want to memorize a bunch of phrases without learning why they're constructed the way they are or how to contruct original sentences. But after taking two years of college Romanian, I'm horrified by this book's lack of grammar explanation (Romanian grammar is quite complex and requires clear explanations for English speakers). The book helps you memorize common sentences, but in fails to prepare you to speak Romanian outside of a script. Also, there are so many typos I want to scream. Typos in the English text, in the Romanian text, in the dialogues, even in the exercise answer keys. I can't recommend it.
Must learn romanian SOON July 19, 2007
A. Woods (Bourbonnais, IL)
I thought this course was overall pretty good. I took so much time to keep listening over and over again! It was very challenging to learn; however, learning any language is difficult.
