Поздрав!

I'd like to ask the good people of the Balkans (or whoever else has thoughts or experience in the matter) if anyone can suggest quality, free (?) language material. I am familiar with the Teach Yourself book series, however I find the lack of examples / exercises in that book. (However I do understand the series was built to serve a "traveling" purpose so writing - and for the students carrying - a 4*852 page academic lexicon-type "concrete blocks" were not optional).

the United States' FSI made public a very in-depth and drill-rich material, which was used to train US diplomats working in the former Yugoslavia. However it was written in 1965, and well - the language I grew up with (Hungarian) did not change a lot in this period, and after checking the material issued to serve as a Hungarian textbook, i couldn't find anything I'd say in a completely different way. After sending this to a Serbian friend o' mine told me her response was "you better not to touch that". (Reasons were not explained why.)

I am also familiar with the stuff I can find on easy-croatian.com, but again, that site only has a few pre-built exercises.

So... does anyone have any ideas or suggestion?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
