"Japanese Sentence Patterns For Effective Communication" is also a really great resource for those of us who like
learning grammar via sentence patterning. It may not be for everyone, but for those who like it, it's awesome. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I came across this recommendation from Fasulye last week and I bought a set of Hueber Tuerkisch
Einstieg program, and I love it! The program is very enjoyable to listen to, as each lesson in the audio CD begins with a list of vocabulary used in the short dialogue that follows, and with music! I wonder when they'll come up with the korean course!

The only language in your list I can contribute to is Norwegian.
For audio, Pimsleur's Complete Norwegian course (the 30 lesson course). For textbooks, which also include audio and workbooks, På Vei, then Stein på stein. These two courses are completely in Norwegian. But completing the Pimsleur course was enough to get through these two courses. In addition to print copies, the courses are available on the web: http://pavei.cappelendamm.no/ http://steinpastein.cappelendamm.no/ R. == Edited by hrhenry on 28 March 2011 at 5:46am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hindi: Elementary Hindi (textbook + workbook, has audio CD); Teach Yourself "Get Started In Hindi"; Hindi for Non-Hindi Speaking People
Elementary Hindi - It's a big book, proper college textbook style, but it's one of my favourites. I like that it breaks out the alphabet slowly while introducing relevant vocabulary and structures--it builds on everything as you go allowing for a more comfortable approach to the alphabet. The workbook is a great secondary support. TY Get Started In Hindi - a different way to look at things, introducing grammar differently (a bit faster, IMO) and a significantly smaller book, better for travellers. I work out of both, building on what the one teaches. Hindi for Non-Hindi Speaking People - divided up into lots of units where it covers a specific grammatical feature or lexical feature each time; verbs, adjectives, oblique, etc. I'm also recommending this to some ESL students I'm working with as a way to get a grasp on English, through their mother tongue. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

For Norwegian I'd nominate the out of print Linguaphone Norsk Kurs which, although
having some old fashioned language as it was written in 1964, is very thorough and teaches a lot of stuff and even features excerpts from Norwegian literature in the last few lessons. It is possible to find the course online to download. If anyone is interested, private message me and I will send you the links so you can download the books and audio. The audio is split into four big tracks though as they originally came on LPs and later cassettes but never made it to CD. The audio is very slow too, but you can use windows media player to speed it up if you want. It is very heavy on grammatical terminology, so you will need to look up the terminology if you are not familiar with it. I'd also nominate Teach Yourself Complete Norwegian which is a decent course and deals with more modern language though it does contain some phrases that younger generations would almost never use, like "på gjensyn". It contains more easy to understand explanations of grammar than the Linguaphone course and comes off as less intense which is good at helping novice language learners not get overwhelmed but is less substantial than the Linguaphone course. For French I definitely recommend Assimil New French With Ease. Edit: For those interested in the Linguaphone Norsk Kurs, I am currently editing the audio into separate oggvorbis tracks. If you want these then give me a PM and I will send you a winzip with the files when I'm done. Should have it edited completely into separate tracks by the end of the week.

The textbooks I recommend are on my blog (link on the left) so I won't repeat them here.
