Colloquial Latvian, 2nd Edition

“I also found this book very useful. It is criticized on another side as not being tailored to the linguistic neophyte, and that is to some extent true, but how many of those are there out there wanting to learn Latvian? I personally valued the storyline and cultural elements of the dialogues as adding interest and the lack of transactional drills and colorless situational dialogies was more a relief than anything else. An hour a day for a month and it’s under your belt - I think that’s hard to beat in its genre, and textbooks for much more widely spoken languages often fall far short of this standard.“ Amazon customer
