A Course in Modern Geg Albanian
Chris Hughes
The 15 lessons in this course concentrate on the Geg dialect, which although also divided into several sub-dialects, effectively forms the basis of the everyday spoken Albanian language in northern Albania (including the capital city Tirane), Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, the Presevo Valley area of Serbia and the bulk of the Albanian diaspora in Europe and the United States of America. 2006, 110 pages, hardbound.

Pimsleur Bookchip for Compact Albanian
Bookchips are compact digital memory cards that can hold five, ten, fifteen hours of spoken audio or more. A single Bookchip - not much larger than a postage stamp - can hold entire audiobooks that would traditionally require a half-dozen to a dozen compact discs or cassettes. Bookchips work on many desktop computers, laptops, other handheld PDA devices and mobile Smartphones with SD memory card slots. Bookchips move seamlessly from device to device, remembering your listening position each time. With Bookchips, it's easy to pick up from where you left off the day before, or skip to any chapter you like. Not only do Bookchips hold hours and hours of high-quality digital audio, they are rugged and reliable. Bookchips are completely electronic, and can be played by devices without any spinning or moving parts - which means Bookchips never skip! Bookchips are much easier to travel or exercise with than cassette or compact discs... and lighter, too. The Bookchip contains the Pimsleur Albanian Compact course, with 10 lessons, normally on 5 CDs.
