Not for the average learner..........2007-07-16
This course (Teach Yourself Ukrainian) is not a good buy for the average learner. It begins by trying to teach the cyrillic alphabet first, then introduces conversations, which are presented in writing as well as on the discs. The conversations are not broken down well, so they are difficult to learn.
How do we learn to speak as a child? We learn basic words, then how to combine words, then (much later) how to spell and write.
I would recommend finding a program that takes the above approach, not the one offered in this course.
trying to please Grandma.......2007-03-10
I wouldn't suggest this if this is your first stab at any sort of russian block language. It's not exactly user friendly unless you have a teacher handy.This would be good if finding yourself further down the road in the language itself. But to become comfortable with the language first would help and this is a bit daunting.
Ukrainian Course Review.......2007-02-24
There are so few courses in Ukrainian.
Pro:
- One of a few courses out there
- Seems like a comprehensive course, if you get through it
Con:
- Hard for me to follow at the beginning and that's where I've stayed with my progress in this course. It immediately jumps into words and phrases without spending much time on basic linguistics like sounds, alphabet, word construction, logic and thought process. Logic and thought process are very important in understanding any language.
I contacted Rosetta Stone and they unfortunately have no current plans to teach this language.
Teach Yourself Ukranian Compete Course(Book + CD).......2005-10-14
Excellent series for learning languages. The books are small enough so that you can take it anywhere with you. The CD helps you to be able to understand the spoken language. I love it. You can learn at your own pace!I use the book and CD at home, on my computer to "see" the words that I am speaking; then I use the CD in the car when I am driving, to see how much I can understand.
far from exhaustive but well done!.......2005-07-19
The one point i took off is for lacking gradual switch to Ukrainian as the reader gains knowledge of the language.
It'd've been great practice and more of an immersion in the Ukrainian language.
This is indeed a very simple book, but it sure can allow itself to be one, since it's the ONLY BOOK on the market (more or less).
Ukrainian is the first slavic language and though had long existed in the doldrums of occupation, the trend in Ukraine is strengthening it as a national language and it seems like it's heading to be the 6th most widely spoken native tongue in Europe after Russian, German, English, French and Italian.
*note that it is practically useless for those with prior knowledge of other slavic languages. It is oriented at English-speakers.

This is a great book!! He tracks the langauges of the required statutes and it has everything you need!! It is "The Bible" of how to books for starting a Non-profit. The only draw back is that it does not give a lot of advice for starting a church. However, that does not diminish its potency.

Setting up a Non-Profit is Easy.......2006-11-05

How To Form a Non Profit Corporation in California.......2007-10-10
This is an excellent manual which answers all of the procedural and operating questions anyone could have about this topic. I heartily recommend it.
Starting a Nonprofit.......2007-04-10
I am in the process of forming a nonprofit organization to benefit people with brain injury. An attorney friend suggested that I purchase this book which gives guidelines for setting up a nonprofit organization in California. Being a novice in the field of start up companies I have found this book to be without exception easy to understand and follow and gives you samples of forms and detailed explanations on how to file them with your local, state, and federal government. I would recommend this book to anyone who is in the process of beginning a nonprofit even if you have previous experience. It gave me the assurance that forms would be filed properly and the advise on writing the bylaws to the company.
Excellent!.......2007-02-20
This book has saved my theatre troupe hundreds of dollars. Easy to use and extremely helpful, it explains all of the legalease and other intricacies that go into filing for a 501c(3). A good for instance -
A friend recently filed for a 501c(3) for the same purpose as me (educational). Her filing fees and legal costs have totaled over $800.00. Mine, including the purchase of this book, are estimated at $300.00! That's a huge savings, especially for a small group like mine...
An invaluable resource for starting a non-profit in CA.......2006-07-22
This was an excellent book, very well written for the layperson. The online links to further instruction and the CDROM were fabulous tools. I highly recommend this to an start-up non-profit.
Excellent Step by Step Guide to Forming Your Non-Profit.......2006-04-03
This book is an excellent step by step guide for starting your non-profit corporation in California. The author does a lot of hand holding, which is especially helpful when it comes to filing your 1023 with the IRS which establishes your tax exempt status as a 501(c)(3) organization.
So here is what you will get out of the book:
1)Should you form a non-profit or a regular business?
He discusses the advantages and disadvanges of a non-profit.
2)501(c)(3)- What is it, do you qualify?
He goes in to detail on if your organization's purpose and activities qualifies you as a 501(c)(3) non-profit with all of its tax advantages. This is a key and important consideration. He also goes into the detail about the structure of your organization- the directors, officers, and how officer's/director's salaries and family affliations might affect non-profit status. He gives plenty of examples, which I found very helpful.
(3)Step by Step filing of articles of incorporation with the State of California.
He gives sample articles of incorporation for "public benefit corporations", which a general category as well as religious corporations. He give plenty of information on how to modify these articles to your individual needs.
(4)Step by Step creation of Bylaws. Again, discussion of each point in the bylaws with suggestions for modification to suit your needs.
(5)Filing for tax exempt status with the State of California and the IRS. This is potentially the most daunting part of the process, but I found that he takes you through it slowly, step by step, to make it as painless as possible although I am sure it is still a somewhat painful process.
(6)Finally he takes you through how to keep corporate records, and conducting your first board of directors meetings.
All of the forms, sample bylaws, articles of incorporation, IRS instructions, etc. are found on the CD rom that comes with the book.
What the book doesn't provide:
--Some practical and common questions did remain unanswered. For example, Lets say you pour seed money into a non-profit corporation, from your own pocket, to pay for travel, meetings, conferences and other promotional activity. Is this tax deductable to you?
--Doesn't offer very much guidance of where there are free university and other resources for new non-profits. This would have been very helpful.
Perhaps both of these like that are beyond the scope of the book.
If you are looking for a book that will give you an very good understanding the structure of a non-profit corporation and a practical step by step guide of how to form one and fill out the proper paperwork, I highly recommend this book.

Don't waste your money.......2005-01-29
The book is simplistic and states the obvious; you can find most of the information for free on the web. Buy Allison Kaye's "Strategic Planning for Nonprofit Organizations" instead . It's well worth the extra money
Clear and full of key details.......2002-03-02
I've long been a fan of the Nolo Press legal guides, but when I came across this in a local library, I took it home for a read and was very impressed. In a very readable manner, it explains the various choices; it also has forms and state-by-state information. I'm involved with two groups considering nonprofit status and it brought out many good points we hadn't thought of.
A Practicle and Simple Resource.......2000-04-07
As a fan of self-help legal survival guides, I found this book very helpful. It's simple to read, only about 70 pages defining various types of nonprofit organizations, procedures for getting started and applying for tax-exempt status, and a bit on raising money and running a corporation. The appendices are actually the most helpful, listing websites, books, information on each state's requirements, and a section of forms including templates for annual meeting minutes. Overall, a good book on the basics of starting a nonprofit organization.
Book Description
