Customer Reviews

Good service
As for the quality of the product, not knowing Burmese myself I can't really say much. The book seems useful and I would recommend it for someone like me trying to learn something about this language on my own. When I received the CDs they were damaged and didn't play. Upon complaining with Amazon, however, I received a very quick response, and got my new CDs in a couple of weeks (I'm an international costumer) free of charge and without even needing to return the old ones. I'm fairly new to Amazon and was positively impressed with the service. The new CDs work just fine and I would like to say 'jeizutinbade' to Amazon costumer service!

Not so bad
The book is very useful over all. But there are some printing errors for Burmese words. I am native burmese and I've felt some of the words or sentences are very former and too difficult for beginners to understand. The book comes together with CD. In the CDs, the pronunciation of the Burmese is not professional.
