Query: Very thorough resource, wish there was a second one!

Follows a tried-and-true formula: mixed vocab, dialogues, and applications, with important language points interspersed throughout the book. Good transliterations, perhaps a few minor errors, as a previous reviewer pointed out (but, as a learner of the language, you feel kind of cool when you find the discrepancies! Well, I do... erm...) I didn't see anything in this book that warranted taking away a star. The variety of subjects covered in this book is a welcome feature, and the cultural notes add to the feeling of completeness.Excellent for laying the foundations of understanding, and gets you pretty comfortable with forming sentences. Very recommended. I don't think there's a second book, but I'd definitely buy it if there was. I only wish my paperback copy from Borders had included the audio CD... Would be very nice to have.
