David has always been a great language person and god have I always been loving the way he explains things!
The explanation of grammar, stress, pronunciation and culture rules etc, in this little book - is so much more then I have ever gotten from any other learning languages books. The cd that comes with is amazing and I learned almost all the basic within just one week!
(and it’s a really hard language at that too..)

Love this, Can’t wait for more! This whole community is so great too, I truly can’t express my joy for it all.
