I started to learn Ukrainian with your podcasts in February this year, I am a beginner. I use the book to learn new words and refresh my learning of words from the lessons. I like the flash cards too, they are a great help in pronunciation, and the visual cues help me to memorize the words.
Yes I would strongly recommend the book. The examples of the words in sentences helps with understanding the use of the words in everyday speech. I also copy the text into Google translate if I need help with the pronunciation.
