Agreed...but of course donned in headphones to listen to Pimsleur whilst walking and ever ready to start conversations with complete strangers for language practice. ;) Edited by Teango on 28 October 2010 at 1:45pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

When you see a Slovene book in a university bookstore and have an urge to buy it just because you'd never seen another Slovene book before, and because you just might consider it for your linguistic future, but don't buy it. And then when you dream of the same book a couple nights later in a nightmare when you return to the bookstore only to discover that it has been bought already...you should have bought it when you had the chance!

Ellasevia, what was the book called? Do you remember? I've likely already got it as I've never seen a whole lot for Slovene around, but on the off chance I've not got it, it'd be nice to look into it.

I think it was just Teach Yourself Slovene, but as I'd never seen ANY books for that language in a bookstore before, it was pretty exciting. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Agreed. And that is why I have so many books and courses that I will, in all honesty, probably never really use completely, but I am afraid that if I don't buy them when I can, they may not be available later. Irrational? Of course, but that's what males me a language nerd! 1 person has voted this message useful |
