This book is an excellent course. The book and audio guide are inseparable! However, be warned that the lithuanian language is not for the inexperienced in the world of linguistics.
 The best Lithuanian language course currently available July 15, 1998

This is the best guide (book plus tape) currently available for learning Lithuanian. My brother, who studied at Vilno Universiteto in 1994 - 1995 strongly recommended it to me, and wished he had had it available then. I had previously tried to learn using the Easy Way to Lithuanian book and tapes, and found this much better.Of course, learning Lithuanian without living there or with a Lithuanian family member is basically impossible, but such is life. Su Diev!
Well organized and the beginner will benefit. June 14, 1998

My mother, born in Lithuania, does not agree with some usage of words and phrasing, and basic pronunciations. Overall, a very useful book and cassette package.
Not ideal, but then it's a difficult language February 2, 2003

I would be lying if I were to say that this book will make learning Lithuanian very easy. It cannot possibly do that.Lithuanian language is very archaic, very peculiar and very complex. What's more, there are too few paralels with modern European languages: unless you have some kind of linguistic background, the task will probably seem overwhelming. It is not like learning French or Spanish if you are an English-speaker. The book comes in Colloquial series (this is your first clue for not expecting too much); it has been reasonably well written and edited, especially considering relatively undeveloped tradition of Western-quality textbook writing in the Baltics. Frankly, one can do much worse than buying this.
