2 comments about Burmese: An Introduction to the Literary Style, Book 4 (Book + 1 Cassette).

1. There is no other equivelent for studying Burmese in english other than John Okell's books. I have the entire series along with the tapes and they are all excellent. My only wish is that these tapes will be converted to CD. I learned Burmese from my parents, but cannot read, write, or understand formal speech. His series of books and tapes have helped me tremendously.



2. Once you have a good grasp of Okell's Introduction to the Burmese Script or have mastered the basics on the seasite website, you can plunge into learning the literary style of Burmese.
   
   This book uses actual Burmese texts to build your vocabulary and knowledge of the literary forms not generally used in the spoken language.
   
   Unless you are able to devote full-time study to this book, I highly recommend you gradually and patiently assimilate the material. I now try to read something in Burmese almost every day, even if only for five mintues, and sometimes up to an hour (and sometimes I have to look up most of the words in the sentence!!). With a regular attention to reading, I've found that now the material in this book can be learned much more quickly.
   
   Excellent resource!!!

1. It's pretty old version of the dictionary and might not be helpful for modern users of the language. Still it's better than nothing and for them to keep the old book alive in good condition, it's good job. I wish there's a more updated one though. I mean, this talks about court language, which is not used anymore in modern day Burma.
