It's quite limited. There's not much vocabulary.

It was too short to be of much use. Some phrases were spoken too fast even when I listened to them multiple times. I got one useful word out of the whole thing. Even for someone just beginning to learn Albanian, there wasn't enough useful content.

The music helps

I’ve used audiobooks, hard copy books, and computer based programs over the last two months trying to learn some Albanian. This short audio is good for beginners who plan to travel to an area where they may need just a few basic words in their pocket. I found that the music in the background was the most appealing feature, and made it easy to listen. It just kind of relaxes your mind, and makes the learning experience feel more casual. My critique would be that for such a short introductory format, they could have picked more functional vocabulary. A few of the words aren’t too useful for basic travel. Also, the few longer phrases presented are not repeated slowly and there is no written material to help you understand what the reader is saying at normal speed. I found this a little difficult to follow. You’re just hoping you heard correctly, and giving the repetition your best guess.
