Title: Colloquial Slovak- A waste of time
Review: I am currently studying from J.D. Naughton's book and I have come to the conclusion that it is the worst text book I have ever come across. The conversations in the book are not relavent to every day life and so usually a waste of time. Also he puts words in the conversations which have no translation on the page and are NOT in the Slovak-English dictionary section at the back. After extensive investigation you find that the word was mentioned and translated in a conversation some 10-100 pages previously, and only once! So what you have to do when you come to these words is look back through EVERY conversation in the book until you find it! It's ridiculous! I have learned many languages in my time and have a lot of Slovak freinds who after being shown the book also agree that it is more of a waste of time than it's worth. Don't get it.
