good product, fast shipping.......2007-05-21
Good product, but not made to learn a massive amount of Swahili in a short time span. Instead, it's an in-depth coverage of grammar and language rules. Excellent package if you have a considerable amount of time to devote to learning Swahili.
Great course!.......2007-03-21
This course to teach yourself Swahili is easy for anybody - all you need is to take time and study.
Good Buy.......2006-11-04
It was hard to find a book on Swahili. This one is easy to follow, the CD's are great and they have quizes after each chapter. It will teach you everything you need to know.
No passive learning in your car.......2006-08-04
This is a very thorough course - goes well beyond a phrasebook, and the CD is only worthwhile if you read along and do the exercises. So, no passive learning by listening over and over on your commute.
So, for a quick course in airport and hotel Swahili, choose something else. For a working knowledge of the language, this is perfect.
Can't Lose.......2006-07-24
At this price? You will speaking Swahili after soaking in this whole book. All you need after this book is the CD (so you can hear), and a dictionary to extend your vocabulary. The only fault I have is that some words in the English half of the book's dictionary aren't found in the Swahili side, and vice versa. But, this is an EXCELLENT beginners course. An excellent value. The structure of the language is well spelled out.

A good course with awful recordings.......2007-08-31
Teach Yourself Afrikaans is a very good course that had me flying through the pages. For a native English speaker (I'm not) Afrikaans is without any doubt the easiest language to learn. The grammar is simplicity itself, the pronunciation is easy compared to many other languages and many of the words are very similar to English ones. If you already speak German or Dutch, you'll probably manage to understand written Afrikaans without even opening this course. Afrikaans is very similar to both languages, but with a grammar that is so much simpler that it's probably the easiest of all the Indo-European languages.
This course in particular deserve a high rating for the relaxed but still competent approach it takes to Afrikaan grammar. The vocabulary is very extensive, and that is something I always look for in a language course. The one star off is for the disastrous recordings and dialouges. They are stereotypichal beyong belief. In the 21th century, I'm not really interest in reading dialouges about the happy family where father goes off to work, the well-behaved kids are pleasant all the time and mum stays home to do the housework. And all of this expressed. at. the. slowest. rate. you. have. ever. heard. If the dialouges would have been natural, this would have been a 5* course.
Teach Yourself Afrikaans, book/CD combo........2007-06-12
This course definitely isn't lacking in content -- in vocabulary alone it provides more than most other Afrikaans self-study courses. (Note : a good number of the words used in the course aren't found in the short dictionary at the back of the book, be it either because they're loan words or because the meaning should be obvious to English speakers. Consulting an online dictionary should suffice.) Much of the grammar and word order is taught through example sentences alone for the first few units of the book, mainly to give learners a "feel" for the language. As the course progresses, grammar is steadily introduced, much of it already linking back to something already taught.
The audio accompanying the course is a must. Conversations, reading passages, and even a number of the word lists -- most of which aren't listed as being on the CDs at all -- can be found on the recorded material. The pronunciation of the language can be tricky at certain points; to provide an example, several of the nouns in the language undergo a vowel shift when they become diminutives (like turning "dog" into "doggy" : hond > hondjie), something which is reflected on the CDs but which is not covered in the text ("hond" is pronounced something like "hund", while "hondjie" is straight out "hoin-key"). The native speakers on the recordings throughout the course speak more slowly than everyday speech allows, and there are only a few passages where the rhythm is picked up to sound more authentic. This might hinder some learners, but on the other hand it can just as well be a blessing in disguise -- knowing to pronounce words correctly and enunciate clearly is the very first step to being understood.
This course is sufficient and well worth the money put toward it. If I were to give my own personal advice to a perspective buyer, though, it'd be to purchase the "Colloquial Afrikaans" course prior to moving on to this one. "Teach Yourself Afrikaans" in some respects is more exhaustive in terms of vocabulary, but the "Colloquial Afrikaans" course is easier to follow and is overall a better starting point for people just beginning studies in the language.
Afrikaans Review.......2006-03-11
The Afrikaans learning program is well-presented and well-written. The dialogues are concise and aidful enough to allow the learner to understand the language much easily. The audio CDs is a must for the program as this is a language which requires careful listening and imitation of the sounds.
Overall, the vocab. is sufficient and the grammar tools provide a great feedback on allowing the learner to either have a thorough knowledge or the language or learn it all together.

Customer Reviews:
Decent book, be careful to buy the one with the audio!.......2006-04-07
I've just gotten into the book, and it seems fine to me. Definitely a beginners book, but that's what I wanted. I was under the impression it came with a cassette or CD (the book even refers to listening excercises on the cassette), but this one doesn't come with it. There is another item on Amazon (same book or at least the same general title and authors) that says Audiopackage specifically in the title - buy that one.
A Good Start.......2005-09-07
As a student of various languages, I have always been intrigued by the languages of South Africa; in particular, their click consonants. I was looking for resources in Xhosa, and instead came across this book. Zulu, I have been told (and can affirm), is easier than Xhosa. This book begins with a decent introduction to Zulu's phonology and orthography; but I think it could have been more detailed and with more examples (especially on the CDs). The course is decently structured and seems to cater to both serious students and casual students (ie, those going to South Africa or a neighbouring country). It goes beyond the language itself, into topics such as some aspects of the Zulu people's culture. This book is a great reference for beginners of Zulu; and worth the price.

Back to the Basics........2002-01-20
This book is amazing. I've bought many Teach Yourself books, but this book makes me want to go through it.
This book isn't built for colloquial speaking in informal formal situations. It's about being a tourist, but only for the first half of the book. The writers in this books seem to have decided to make it for people who want to be tourist, and people who want to become close to fluent. The first few units detail tourist situations like going to the hotel and getting letters. The subjects move to more advanced conversation, but as Swahili isn't that complicated in most respects it isn't bad.
The most notable thing that can be noticed about the Swahili language is the use of putting nouns into different classes. This is likely the most confusing aspect of the language. This means that they need to be taught very slowly, one noun class per unit... well technically two because the plural counts as a noun class in most cases. The language is easy besides that, with probubly the easiest to understand Verb system, that a three year-old could understand with little effort and a bit of memory.
I'd strongly advise this book to anyone who has an interest in understanding an African language (It could be useful one day) or plans on taking a trip to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, or Even Southern Somalia.
good book.......2001-08-31
When coupled with a good Swahili-English dictionary, this is a great book. It teaches grammar well, and gives you a firm base that will let you travel fairly easily. Of course, there is no substitution to actually speaking the language with other people, and they will no doubt speak very fast for you at first. However, this book does give you a good foundation in Swahili grammar and a basic understanding of how the language works. Be warned that in Nairobi, most Swahili speakers completely ignore rules, so don't be surprised if they say things that are kinda weird!
Good but not great.......2001-06-28
A good beginning book but somewhat thrown together. The dialogues and explanations were good, but the exercises weren't particularly useful. It confused me when it said to not make "baba" sound like "barber". It was obviously written for British people and I often found myself reading with a posh English accent. Oxford, actually. But it was still a good book to learn dialogue and noun classes with. Good Luck : )
Good buy.......1999-10-12
this book was fun to work through for me, it has interesting scenarios and exercises. It also doesnt just heap the noun classes on you in the first chapter, like alot of books. I was surprised at how it made this Bantu-African language relatively easy and fun, with lots of culture points on Kenya, Tanzania ,most books on AFrican langs dont. I think this is great book for anyone looking to learn Swahili Kwa Heri
Okay for learning phrases........1999-07-30
This is one of three texts I tried recently, seeking to learn Swahili. This one is okay if you just want to learn a few phrases for a short visit, but is poorly organized for actually learning the language. Unfortunately, the best text I found is now out of print, so you may be stuck with this unless you can haunt the second hand shops in Dar es Salaam or Z'bar.

Teach Yourself Afrikaans, by Helena van Schalkwyk.......2007-06-12
This older edition of the "Teach Yourself Afrikaans" textbook is out of date in most contexts. I wouldn't recommend using this book for learning the language if you're brand new to it (instead, opt for either "Colloquial Afrikaans" or "Teach Yourself Afrikaans" : both are available with accompanying audio, and the two are easier to use than this course). However, if you already have a good working knowledge of the language, this book can be an excellent guide to building your vocabulary and learning the grammar more thoroughly.
If you know how to use this course to its full advantage, it'll benefit you tremendously to learn the vocabulary it teaches, especially in the latter half of the book when idiomatic and more formal language is introduced. A disadvantage is that you won't find recorded material to this course, but pronouncing the words and understanding the intonation of normal everyday speech shouldn't be a problem if you have a separate course to refer to. Some of the words used aren't in the back of the book, but don't let this deter you -- purchasing an Afrikaans-English dictionary (or just using one online) should do the job. If you have a native speaker to consult, one of the best ways to really learn the vocabulary isn't to just ask what words mean but to ask how they're used -- if you're stumped and having a native speaker to help you, ask for example sentences so that you fully grasp the meaning of what you're learning.
This course is by no means a comprehensive guide to the formal side of the language, but it's the closest you might find as far as self-study goes. The reading passages are often lengthy and pack in plenty of new vocabulary, most of which is clearly defined and still in everyday use. In one of the last lessons, there's even a short grammar guide that's written in Afrikaans entirely -- if you know your grammar, you'll figure out the vocabulary and terms fairly easily. (Overall, you should have a good idea of how grammar works before using this course. If you don't know what an adverb or a dependent clause is, it'll without a doubt slow your progress.)
In short, this book is resourceful and a strong asset to any learner if you know how to use it.
Good book, but misleading title.......2006-08-11
"Teach Yourself Afrikaans" describes itself, somewhat inaccurately, as "a complete course for beginners". This book is most certainly not a "complete" course, as it actually touches on the language relatively superficially. Its goal is not to turn the reader into a high literate; it merely is a guide to everyday, "conversational" Afrikaans, with particular emphasis on workplace senarios and on giving and taking directions.
Initially, it comes across as an elaborate phrasebook. Indeed, it only begins discussing grammar and sentence construction in the third lesson, after the reader has learnt "useful" expressions like "Kom u van Engeland af?" (Do you come from England?) and "Waar is die stasie?" (Where is the station?) Don't let this put you off, though, for as the book progresses so too does the detail to grammar, and soon enough you'll be learning how to form questions and speak in tenses.
It begins with a pronunciation guide, but don't bother with that as it's more or less useless. It's not even printed right-side-up! Instead, listen to a native speaker of Afrikaans; RSG streaming radio is good.
In short, it's good, but don't expect too much from it. It makes a good start, and little more. Whether you're just beginning Afrikaans or are rusty and need to polish your skills, it will ultimately just whet your appetite for more and better learning material.
on "Teach Yourself Afrikaans".......2002-05-15
Afrikaans, the author writes, is a phonetic language. This book has a pronounciation guide at the beginning, but there are inconsistencies. So, I think it would have been useful to dispel all doubt with an english phonetic symbol equivalent (ala 'Berlitz', others.)
Good for vocabulary, but not the best for conversation.......2002-01-06
The main differences bewteen this book (TYA) and Donaldson's Colloquial Afrikaans (CA), is that TYA (a) doesn't have cassettes available, (b) TYA introduces a much broader vocabulary (almost too much at times), and (c) CA is more modern, both in terms of vocabulary presented and dialogs. If I wanted to learn to speak Afrikaans, I would go with CA.
I think a good combination is to get both CA (first) and then TYA as a reinforcement/vocabulary builder. Even given that there aren't many books on learning Afrikaans out there, TYA isn't bad.
One thing that some (esp. female) readers might find amusing or insulting (depending) is that many of the dialogs cast characters in very traditional gender roles : men play/watch sports, women shop and worry about their hair and makeup. Sentences like : "As 'n dame mooi wil lyk, moet sy grimmer" (If a woman wants to look nice, she has to wear makeup) on pg. 103 might not make the author (a woman!) many friends in some circles.
Still, not a bad book, especially if you're interested only in reading, but otherwise I would only use it as a supplement to TYA.
(Incidentally, the (much) older edition of TYA is a very good book for the more linguistically-oriented learner who's not overly concerned with speaking Afrikaans, especially one that already knows Dutch or German. Unfortunately, it's also hard to find).
Good but..........2001-03-08
Good but was written in 1992. Some of the content is outdated. Used to be a must have because it was the only one. But now with Colloqial Afrikaans, it's not a good buy. I reccommend Colloquial Afrikanns with the tapes.
Customer Reviews:
A wonderful book, but where are the tapes?.......2000-10-04
I like this book very much. Hausa is definitely an underappreciated and underrepresented language. A great deal of Hausa scholarship is evident in the book and a real feeling for the people and the culture. The section on pronunciation is particularly valuable. Grammar and syntax are dealt with very clearly and very thoroughly. My one criticism of this book is that it needs audio support (read: tapes and/or CD). Although the explanation of the sounds of the tonal and intonational contours of Hausa is good, there really is no substitute for hearing it. The UCLA Hausa page will help a lot with learning to make the individual sounds (if you have sound files, of course) but there's no substitute for hearing spoken dialogues. I hope that there will be a new edition of this book which includes audiotapes.

little correction of my previous review.......2003-07-17
Of course Swahili is also Bantu language, just like Zulu and Xhosa. But I advice you to try to tech yourself not only Xhosa but also Zulu because both are used in Republic of South Africa and are its oficial languages, of course among many others...
Great!.......2000-06-29
It's great! If you want to learn this graet language that book is for you. Well written, good coursebook. Every unit contains dialogue, vocabulary for everyday conversation, even idiomatic exspressions. Tha pack contains also two cassettes with pronunciation guide and dialogues from the book (of course with mother tongue speakers). So if you want to teach yourself this beautiful language you have to buy it. But remember that Xhosa is a tone langage so if you just want to speak a new language so maybe you should start from, for example, Teach Yourself Swahili from the same publisher (it's even better! ). And if you need to know Xhosa buy also Teach Yourself Zulu and you will find it very useful, because both, Zulu and Xhosa are Bantu languages so you will find many similarities.

sounds interesting.......2005-08-28
I logged in to Amazon to see what this author had to offer after reading about him and his walking group in the NEW YORK TIMES, 8.28.2005. Sorry I have not yet read this yet but, I think it will give insite into what is to come from this author, I hope. Anyway the group sounds like interesting nature studies abound, giving a sense of a wonderful feature of New York City and surroundings that I had never thought of. I wish I was there to join. The telling of this adventure will have to suffice.

A dozen original works by 12 Northwest writers are assembled in this handsomely illustrated anthology. Novelist Tom Robbins proclaims his unabashed love for the region, noting "I'm here for mushrooms that broadcast on transcendental frequencies." Native American writer Sherman Alexie describes his difficult early life in Spokane, and novelist and nature writer Brenda Peterson writes movingly of a mother beluga whale.
Book Description
When twelve writers from Washington and Oregon were asked to write about their relationship to the place they call home, the responses were as diverse and rich as the region itself. Gathered here are original works from essayists, poets and novelists who are both natives and newcomers to the northwest edge of America.

The first 5 star rating I have given...........2006-02-14
"edge walking on the western rim" is a complilation of essays from 12 different poets and novelists who have had their lives influenced in some way by living in the american Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Washington, Oregon.) These authors are: Sherman Alexie, Sharon Doubiago, David James Duncan, Sam Hamill, Lawson Fusao Inada, Colleen J. McElroy, Brenda Peterson, Johnathan Raban, Tom Robbins, charlotte Watson Sherman, Tom Spanbauer and William Stafford.
Why did I love this book enough to give it my highest rating? Maybe because I, like many of the authors, am new to the Pacific Northwest and it is comforting to know I am not alone in wondering about this place's people, landscape and even weather. I also love autobiographies, they are quite possible it is my favorite genre.
While not all the authors use a style I particularily like, the essays are short enough that they do not get boring. Each section ends in a small biography about the author. The book also introduces me to writers that I might not nessissarily pick up books by on my own and whom I have found I really enjoy. The first coming to mind are Colleen J. McElroy, who like me moved from the east coast to the west coast and has travelled the world, again, like myself and Jonathan Raban, also a transplant, but this time from Europe.
"edge walking on the western rim" is a book full of beautiful, laughter, sadness and love. It covers the spectrum of human emotions through the eyes of 12 people in one small area of the world. It makes me reflect on the past and future. I believe Colleen J. McElroy said it well with:
"I have gone to the ocean just to listen to the heartbeat of the sea. It is a constant pulse that seems to draw me to it - a bridge between where I am and what I remember - and like the weather, it can dominate my moods and, inexplicably, my memory."

A first rate adventure story........1999-01-04
Walking The Rim describes the adventures of Rudy as he struggles to survive a massive Californina Earthquake while on a camping trip in Northern California's wilderness. The author has taken much care in the description of the Northern coast, and the strange family that takes Rudy in. Her vivid description of the violent quake gave me goosebumps as I lived it along with the frightened boy. And Ms. Lindquists touching scene involving Cerce and her old dog in the barn moved me to tears. I recommend that children who love the outdoors and adventure stories read WALKING THE RIM. They will not be disappointed!
