Once again, Benjawan has managed to help those of use who want to speak Thai with our Thai friends and associates. Unlike many other Thai language course products which are more traditional in style and certainly more structured, the "Speak Like a Thai" series of CDs provides the user with common sayings -- and in the case of this particular CD, a useful look at sayings which parallel those commonly used in English. This helps the student of Thai to both understand a few new words, and "catch" a few colloquialisms which can instantly help the learner "fit in" with his/her Thai friends, and possibly, even endear him/her to the Thais he/she has occassion to interact with. I have found the "Speak Like a Thai" series of CDs to be valuable additions to my Thai language library in a practical and well received way. I reccomend it wholeheartedly.

this book had an interesting sense of character to it. i liked the way that it gave me a picture in my mind about the african people, how they lived, and their culture...just in case u didnt know, culture is a way of life of a group of people, and it is learned and shared. (Mrs. Bradley, that was for you!). it wuz a good book! you should really read it some time. it took me some time, but within days i was speaking Xhosaken. i was proud of myself, and i then passed the book on to my friends.

This is a beginning to learn French curriculum which I have used both in my car and at home. It is interactive and alot of fun for both parents and children. The best thing is that you actually are learning the French language while having fun. All ages will benefit. The workbook is simple to follow and the tapes are easy to listen to.

The theme of this book is risk management as it relates to IT projects, and the focus is on IT development projects in particular. Most of the material at the beginning of the book is standard fare, with an overview of IT risk management, and a discussion of common risks associated with development projects. However, after the basics are presented the author's extensive knowledge and perspective surfaces, making this one of the better books on the subject.

Highlights of the book include in-depth material about financial analysis of risks and major risk drivers, an interesting (and valid) discussion of relationships and ripple effects showing how the manifestation of one risk can cascade into a disaster if risk mitigation and controls are absent from project plans.

Additionally this book shows how to establish and manage a risk program, and provides a case study to reinforce the approach and recommendations presented in the book. Among the aspects of this book I most like are the copious use of tables and checklists, and the focus on business issues. These characterize all of the author's books, most of which I've read, and like those books this one stands out as complete and well thought out on the subject.

I must say the program is one of the best I have ever seen. Get it for your children!

This is a story about a "little tree" that grew up at the time of Jesus. The tree witnesses many of the events of Jesus' life and ministry. This CD has several songs intermixed with the story, some of which are very memorable such as "He Lives". I would recommend this CD heartily to anyone with a child that want's a fun, but meaningful message about the life of Jesus.

The mind of the businessman should be very similar to hunter 's attitude. Never satisfied and always searching new challenges, the successful by itself is never a goal, but only a simple step in the process.

Interesting testimonial book around the experiences in the gradually most exigent and complex activity: the management in the actual times.

Do you know how to create streamig media content? Content creation and delivery with Windows Media, RealMedia and Quicktime - thats what I wanted to get into.
First I was not convinced of the book, mostly due its strange description at diverent websites. Nevertheless I ordered it and was possitively suprised. As a person with a little know-how about editing and video technology I got a great in-depth, up to date introduction to all important technologies available today. I can recommend this book for everybody who wants a compentent jump-start with streaming media technologies.
Not to forget: an accomplishing website with lots of examples (ready to copy-n-paste...)

I have learned Italian at school with the book and I have used this cassette tape to help me with pronunciation and to get me used to real Italian speaking. This is the greatest book on Italian language I have come up to so far, and this cassette tape, I believe you wouldn't regret buying this ever. Now that I am finished with my first semester of Italian, this is helping me all the more for keeping me maintaining what I have learned!

4 months prior to my arrival in Tanzania for a 2 year volunteer stint I began to use the Teach Yourself book. In that time I gained a good grasp of the grammar of the language.
The book with the dictionary were invaluable; I didn't use the tape much but no doubt it would be helpful to fulfill what to me are the most difficult parts of learning Swahili: listening and speaking (and being understood).
Now I am using Peter Wilson's Simplified Swahili quite happily - I gained a good foundation of understanding how to create sentences from Teach Yourself and Wilson's Simplified is giving more detail.
These 2 resources are great if you're looking at understanding the grammar and learning vocabulary.
