Vietnamese Volume 1 and 2, CD Course
This course begins with a guide to pronunciation (in Southern dialect) because Vietnamese is a "tone language" in which the meaning of a word can change when it is pronounced with a different musical pitch or pitch contour. Once you have mastered the sounds, basic dialogs and common language structures are introduced.

Pimsleur Bookchip for Comprehensive Vietnamese
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 Vietnamese Comprehensive course, with 30 lessons, normally on 16 CDs.

iofy Audio Player
The iofy Player is back and better than ever. With new enhanced features it delivers the same reliable performance of the original in a sleek new design. Easy to use, the iofy Player is designed specifically for audiobook chips, such as the Pimsleur Bookchip. This intelligent device is the only audiobook chip player on the market today that automatically bookmarks your listening position! Unlike cassettes or CDs, just one audiobook chip can hold 5, 10, 15 hours or more of reading material, and plays without spinning parts that might break or cause skipping when you're on the go. With an iofy player, you can "zip" downloaded audiobooks to chips and listen to them anywhere - while you're driving, exercising, or just relaxing. Alternatively, you can buy premade chips, or you can put your own music or other MP3 content on a chip and listen to that as well. The iofy player comes with Earphones and two AAA batteries. With a 16GB SD Memory Card (not included), it holds up to 2400 hours of spoken audio, or 3840 songs in 128-Kbps MP3 format. Supports Content on SD card, MMC-ROM, MMC Flash, Mini-SD, and Micro-SD (requires adaptor). Skip-free playback; Frequency response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz; MP3 (8 to 192 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Speex; One step MP3-CD to chip conversion; CEA 2003 compliant; MPV compliant.

Vietnamese Advanced Transcription Course (3 Volumes)
To-Lan Vu, William P. Hyde
The goal of this 3 volume course is to take the student to a 3/ 3+ listening comprehension capability by exposing him or her to actual conversations in Vietnamese at an increasing level of difficulty, beginning at a 2 or 2+ level and going on up to the 3 and 3+ level. Ideally the student using this transcription course has completed the Dunwoody Press Vietnamese Intensive Basic Course, thus ensuring a level 2/ 2+ capability in all language skills.
Volume 1 contains 14 Supplemental Lessons that may be used in whole or in part as a primer for the basic lessons, or they may substitute for an equal number of basic lessons. Volume 2 contains lessons 1-18 and Volume 3 contains lessons 19-36, as well as a cumulative glossary of all 36 basic lessons. The 36 basic lessons consist of a skeletonized transcript (for the first 18 lessons only), a vocabulary section exemplifying most of the vocabulary words glossed, sometimes a separate grammar notes section, and an exercise section in the front of the volume and an exercise key, a complete (cut by cut) transcript and a (cut by cut) translation of the transcript in the back. (This publication will be sold as a complete set only.) With four 90 min. audio cassette recordings of the articles read by a native speaker. 1999, 1,870 pages, softcover.

(This publication will be sold as a complete set only.) With ten audio recordings of the articles read by a native speaker. 1998, 1,524 pages, softcover.
