Clear, concise and helpful - By: , 09 Jul 2004
I also found this book very useful. It is criticized on another side as not being tailored to the linguistic neophyte, & that is to some extent true, but how many of those are there out there wanting to learn Latvian? I personally valued the storyline & cultural elements of the dialogues as adding interest & the lack of transactional drills & colorless situational dialogies was more a relief than anything else. An hour a day for a month & it's under your belt - I think that's hard to beatin its genre, & textbooks for much more widely spoken languages often fall far short of this standard.
