Three official languages have emerged in the Balkan region that was formerly Yugoslavia: Croatian in Croatia, Serbian in Serbia, and both of these languages plus Bosnian in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian. The textbook introduces the student to all three. Dialogues and exercises are presented in each language, shown side by side for comparison; in addition, Serbian is rendered in both Latin and Cyrillic spellings. Teachers choose a single language to use in the classroom, or they can get the students familiar with all three. This popular textbook is now revised and updated with current maps, discussion of a Montenegrin language, advice for self-study learners, an expanded glossary, and an appendix of verb types. It also features:
All dialogues, exercises, and homework assignments available in Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian
Classroom exercises designed for both small-group and full-class work, allowing for maximum oral participation
Reading selections written by Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian authors especially for this book
Vocabulary lists for each individual section and full glossaries at the end of the book

Brief grammar explanations after each dialogue, with a cross-reference to more detailed grammar chapters in the companion book, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, a Grammar.
