new textbook for Ukrainian language study

[Robert DeLossa]

Shanovni AAUS-ivtsi ta SEELANzhivtsi,

Our new textbook Rozmovljajmo! has gone to press and will start 
distribution soon. If you want to use it, you can order it from 
Slavica. If you want to examine it, I believe they will send you the 
full set of .pdf files for examination (printing and copying the 
files will be disabled). The person to contact is Vicki Polansky 
<vpolansky at slavica.com>. The book is available directly through 
Slavica [http://www.slavica.com/newrecent.html#forthcoming] and is 
pre-ordering on Amazon.com. Details follow.

Regards,

Rob DeLossa

êÓÁÏӒÎþÈÏÓ![Rozmovljajmo!] (Let¹s Talk!): A Basic Ukrainian Course 
with Polylogs, Grammar, and Conversation Lessons. Robert A. DeLossa, 
R. Robert Koropeckyj, Robert Romanchuk, and Alexandra Isaievych

pp. illus, maps. 8 x 10 format. LC no. 2004062564.

20 polylogs, 22 grammar lessons (+introductory lesson), 14 
conversation lessons, translations for conversation lessons, notes

(NB! _not_ a guide for learning Ukrainian through Russian), Eng-Ukr

There are illustrations, maps, exercises, classroom/home activity

the grammar portions of the lesson. The book is designed to be fully 
functional in both a communicative-based and more traditional 
classroom. We will build up a website node at Slavica to be used by 
instructors adopting the textbook. We also have a flexible printing 
schedule that will allow us to correct/update material between 
printings. If you have any questions, you can contact Ms. Polansky or
