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.
