Burmese: An Introduction to the Spoken Language, Book 1 ( With Audio CD) (Bk. 1)

Customer Reviews:

Excellent introductory course

By John B. Waits - December 16, 2001

This book has the perfect mix of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and conversation. Okell is a superb teacher, and has chosen good, native speakers for his tapes. The progression of information is very logical and helpful. He also includes an Appendix to allow you to quickly get some useful prhases under your belt, as you methodically learn the carefully chosen vocabulary in the Lessons. The review sections are thoughtfully designed to quickly get you back up to speed after a break (as opposed to having to work through lessons again).The pronunciation section (book & tape) portion is the best I have seen in an introductory text. For example, having wroked through introductory texts in Greek, Thai, and Vietnamese, his explanation of the differences in aspirate, plain, and voiced consonants is the most clear.As you consider purchasing this text (a wise decision), you really ought to consider simultaneously purchaseing Okell's Burmese: An Introduction to the Script.

Burmese: An Introduction to the Spoken Language - John Okell

By David Greco - February 25, 2001

I have purchased many self-teaching language courses and this is by far the best. Starts off simple and builds knowledge and confidence gradually. The variations in exercises also keeps the student interested throughout the book. The tapes are very much like an actual lecture. Okell includes many fascinating points about Burmese culture and the added bonuses at the end of the tapes such as BBC Burmese broadcasts and traditional Burmese music are really interesting to hear. What every language package should be.

Burmese, an introduction to the spoken language

By Brian Noronha - November 29, 2008

Just the right language course for any serious learner of the Burmese language. Within the first few lessons, John Okell is able to teach the learner a useful set of Burmese phrases. He approaches language training by encouraging the learner to repeat the Burmese phrases over and over. This rigorous approach may sound somewhat dull, but I find the method effective, down to earth and, yes, quite entertaining.
