2 stars (Fun practice for pronunciation... NOT a course...get a book.) - "Ano" (yes) - for under $20 you can learn to parrot some very basic Slovak - excellent for pronunciation practice!! (besides, the world's only Slovak CD?!?) I recommend this product so long as you know what to expect. BUT "Learn Slovak"? No way! There is no danger of learning too much from this CD - it covers simple vocab, about 30 phrases and comes with no supplemental written materials. Also, do not expect to learn anything about the language itself - i.e. no noun genders, syntax, declensions, etc... Technical irritation: it must always be run from the CD thus hogging resources & risks loss if scratched/damaged through use. (Buying idea: if you like languages in general you should definitely consider "33 Languages" on CD's from same publisher for about $40 total - it is EXACTLY the same software and includes the Slovak disk plus (guess) 32 more languages. A fun teaser for languages or gift for kids.) 4 stars (Nice for beginners, a teaser for those beyond beginner...) - This is a very nice primer for those wishing to learn some necessary words for travel to Slovakia. I used this for preparation for a visit to SK, and did fairly well. The locals were amazed at my phonetic understanding and pronunciation that I had learned from this CD. I believe this is one of only a few available Slovak language CDs on the market, so it's a good buy to those beginning in the language and those who need a refresher course in the basics. ...
