I have much too large a range of books to list on the forum. I will list them in groups, however.
First, there are my Assimil courses. (More that a dozen) My numerous editions of Russian For Everybody. Like Iversen, a large range of dictionaries in around twenty languages. (Both pocket and large.) A large range of Teach Yourself and Colloquial courses. I have a number of the old Living Language courses recorded entirely in the target language. Some books from SIL and Farber and Azzopardi (sp?) on learning languages and linguistics. A huge range of Russian material from the soviet era, including science books for children. Books and courses I bought in Poland. A lot of Chinese material from Singapore. A lot of Indonesian and Japanese material from second hand shops in Australia. I have a huge range of French courses and material as French was my first foreign language and, probably, my favourite. I have a large range of materials in Hebrew, both old (Biblical and prayerbook) and modern. I have the old Linguaphone programs for Spanish and Italian (I bought cheap on eBay). I bought French in Action cheap from a Salvation Army store and a missing set of audio cassettes from a second hand book shop. I am currently transferring the video tapes to DVDs and going through the material again. I got Dr. Blair's program of French for Mormons (eBay) and a regular program for Chinese. I have Lewis Robin's Language for Travellers in French, Italian, German Russian and Spanish. I learnt to speak basic Italian in 10 days with the program. I have books in other languages I picked up cheap in case I ever study the languages or simply out of interest, like Serbo-Croat and Ukranian, because they are related to Russian and Polish. I also have Tintin comics in Dutch and French, Mickey Mouse books and a whole lot of novels and biographies in different languages. I have thrillers in Swedish, Polish, Afrikaans, Dutch, French and German. Of course, I have copies of my own books in various languages. I found it extremely easy to read the Spanish translation of my book on mental calculation and problem solving.

hmmm.... I own thousands of books, but comparatively few related to language learning. Let's see, I have some five or so Assimil, the Optimal and em series for German, the Neue Horizonte German textbook, an assortment of Russian texts including Colloquial, Made Simple, the excellent Learning Russian by Nina Potapova and the complete course by Lipson, a couple of old Teach Yourself, a complete Linguaphone Hebrew, the Sanskrit course by Egenes, and am expecting the Basic Kanji Book and Japanese From Zero series.
For dictionaries I prefer to use online ones. Edited by Juan M. on 01 November 2009 at 3:43am 1 person has voted this message useful |
