So did Rachel Dywer mean that they're going to improve on the Colloquial Gujarati book with a new edition? If so, should I wait until then to buy the book (when will it be out)?

In the meantime, would you recommend the TY Gujarati or the Colloquial Gujarati? What are the pros and cons of each?

TY Gujarati <- nice find. :)

I have been trying to learn Gujarati also for a couple of months now. I have posted on here before. Maybe you could get your wife to come here and help out a bit since we have no native Gujarati speakers here. I made some sentences in Gujarati almost a year ago and I still haven't been able to get explanations regarding them because I can't find Gujarati forums on the web that geared towards Gujarati language learning. :(

With exams, My gujarati study has fallen by the wayside a bit, but now I'm ready to pick this back up. I've acquired
the Lambert course and it looks very solid, as the professor promised. I've learned to read, write, and type the
Gujarati script. Now, I plan to use Rachel Dwyer's book in tandem with Lambert's course. Please keep checking
back, as I will be updating this much more frequently now that I can devote time to truly active study.

Also, for anyone interested, I've taken the audio found on RD's site and broken it up by chapter for the book
instead of one continuous stream. If you're interested in getting these audio files, letme know.

Hi--I know nothing about Gujju--I learn Bengali--but you can meet and exchange w/ Gujaratis on
livemocha.com. They don't have places for posting--you just search for people and exchange with them. They
have LOTS of Deshis! You can also see who is active and what they have done, which is good.
