    Hi there,

    It will not be easy if your English is weak, but I imagine it can be done.

    The most "EASY" to understand book for myself was this one here by Todd Lammle. It is not as detailed as the Cisco Press books by Odom, but it is better than nothing.

    CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide, 5th Edition (640-801)

    Good luck.

    I'm currently reading Odem's book and i like it alot. What i did first was a read a simple CCNA for dummies book. Then i hit the cisco press and it made it ALOT easier for me. Each person has thier own method.

    Yep, I would agree the Sybex book (Lamle) is very easy to read IMO.

    Got any ideas where is a good place to get an inexpensive (used) copy of Lammie's book (most recent edition)?

    www.amazon.com
    www.ebay.com

    Or ask around your local trading/networking mailing-lists.

    33$ for a new one isn't a killer price, imho.

    amazon offers used ones starting from 23$

    Unfortunately, for international customers shipping bites.

    I picked up both the Cisco Press and Sybex. Cisco press is a really easy read. I highly recommed reading the Sybex chapter on Subnetting first before the Cisco press. Sybex does a really good job explaining subnetting.

    Initiald: Im using the TBA(The Bryant Advantage) right now along with his TS videos. Excellent Material.

    Also, you get access Bryan via his private web boards, so its kinda like a CCIE in your back pocket. He'll help with router configs, Troubleshooting hardware issues and the like. So, all and all its a pretty good little deal for 100 bucks.

    The turn around is excellent. Not a lot of questins are asked but when asked usually answered within 24hrs if that most times. He is pretty active on his boards also, you can mail him directly for support as well. All around its an EXCELLENT package for 100 bucks.

    I only got Bryant CCNA materials and his old CCNP TS video. I like reading his CCNA materials, he points out things that the Cisco exam will try and trap you with. The TS video on the other hand is so boring...zzzz I think it is his voice, its very monotone. To his credit, the vids I have read so far are very technical and indepth. He does a lot of hands on debug, verifying and troubleshooting on the routers.
