OK I have been learning Croatian (and with it also Serbian and Bosnian, obviously) for some time.
Well I organize very well my time, so I have time all weekdays after lunch here at my job to learn it.
Teach Yourself, Colloquial, Introduction to the Croatian and Serbian language all done. Some time ago, yes. And I will repeat them anyway.
But now I'm doing Ronelle Alexander's "Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian - A Textbook with Exercises and Basic Grammar" along with "A Grammar with Sociolinguistic Commentary" from the same author.
And from now on I will tell you about it every day :)

This book has some parts in each unit.
Right now I am in unit 4. A2 is done, as well as the grammar paragraphs that are linked there.
By now apart from one or another word I haven't learned anything new with this book. But this one is very good I can tell you.
The book has for each unit A1, A2, etc. with texts and grammar. It features some drills when you must do some changes in the texts with words and of course the grammatical changes. B stands por exercises and C for homework.
I love this language :)

Yesterday I studied the Geographical text at the end of Unit 4. I also studied the uncovered grammar points in grammar's Unit 4 and started Unit 5, although I only did the text A1 and the drills related to it.

Hi! I am just wondering why you still are doing excercises after having finished all those course books. Last semester, we did TY Croatian in class, and now we've moved on to translating to and from BCMS. Provided you have someone who can properly judge and check your translations, this really is a valuable way of improving your language. Besides, you can choose texts that interest you also for other reasons, thus actually having the advantage of learning something from the content.
How is your fluency at the moment? Written/spoken-wise and all that...

Unit 5 - grammar of A1 and A2 text done this last Friday.
In fact I usually don't have anyone to talk to, but if I have the chance I never miss it, like when I met one Bosnian girl about one year ago in Lisbon.
My fluency ? I don't know maybe B1...but maybe if you send me your MSN in private we can speak in BCS there... :)
