Title: Small investment. Big payoff.
Review: I recently bought this book in anticipation of attending a close friend's wedding in Norway. It is a great course - with a good mix of grammar, vocabulary, cultural notes, and pronunciation help (using the tapes). The course proceeds rather quickly and covers more ground than similar language courses. And surprisingly, the course does not "feel" dense.Overall, this is a great buy. Nonetheless, I gave it only four stars because of the formatting. The book contains lots of little sections. You'll see an average of two to three quick exercises/dialogs/explanations/vocabulary-keys per page. It's all great information, but it bumps around rather quickly. It is a personal preference of mine to have a slightly slower pace.
