Reviews

'Undoubtedly the best series of in-depth language courses on the market.'
- Waterstone's Booksellers

'If you want to get to grips with any of the languages, Routledge's Colloquial series is the best place you could start.'
- Rough Guide to Europe

'The exposition is clear and accurate... the subject matter seeks to amuse, rather than bore... It is remarkable that ways are found, even within this essentially spoken register, to introduce the 'whole' grammar, that is, even features usually absent.'
- The Slavonic and East European Review on Colloquial Czech

'The Colloquial Series fills the ever-increasing market for language guides. They are always up-to-date, clear and accessible and enable the reader to communicate effectively in the chosen language.'
