Easy to use and completely up-to-date, Colloquial Serbian has been specially written by an experienced teacher for self-study or class use. Providing a step-by-step approach to written and spoken Serbian, this interactive course will enable students to communicate confidently and effectively across a broad range of everyday situations. Requiring no prior knowledge of the language, key features include: * a range of exercises to build confidence * clear and concise grammar notes * a progressive introduction of the Cyrillic alphabet * Serbian-English and English-Serbian glossaries, grammar summary and translations of main texts. These two CDs, recorded by native speakers, are an invaluable component of the Colloquial course. While reinforcing material from the book, the CDs also contain a variety of additional exercises, including role-playing, designed to perfect your speaking and listening skills.
