Summary: Excellent material but...
Comment: It's content was obviously prepared well however:

1. the type size is too small, especially for the Cyrillic characters that are boldfaced; this suggests that...

2. the book dimensions are too small; although it's obviously intended for portability, still...

3. the authors should've been more helpful with tips and such about the learned ability of reading Cyrillic, and...

3. the explanation of the grammatical terms are insufficient (e.g., how many people know what "instrumental case" means without consulting reference material?), and finally...

4. the index is too brief.

It still gets four stars though simply because of its excellent and comprehensive content.

Summary: too hard
Comment: I found by following the book & cd together is too hard it does not take enough time on learning the language before going into dialogue. You have to keep rewinding to learn letters etc.

Summary: Good book,,, Not so great CDs...
Comment: I bought this book when I was an exchange student in Ukraine... I did not have any previous experience with the language. I found the book to be immensely helpful, but gave up on the cds. I found the reader spoke too quickly to comprehend, I couldn't keep up. Just so you know, another exchange student (to Czech Republic) had the same problem with the Czech cds. Otherwise, a good (although your only) choice.

Summary: Not for the average learner...
Comment: 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.
