Table Of Content
Introduction: An outline description of the Vietnamese language, its sound patterns, dialectal variation and writing system. Pronunciation Guide: In recognition of the difficulty spoken Vietnamese presents to beginning students, eight initial units present a thorough introduction to pronunciation, with clear descriptions of vowel sounds, tones and spelling conventions. 15 lessons: Each has a topical focus and introduces specific items of grammar and usage by way of short dialogues and narratives accompanied by vocabulary listings and full explanatory notes. The language is practiced by means both of drills to ensure accuracy and of more flexible communicative exercises. New in this edition is an extra lesson to fit the material more closely to a full academic year in US colleges. Glossaries: Vietnamese-English and English-Vietnamese reference listings of all the vocabulary covered.

The main focus of Elementary Vietnamese is to assist learners in developing basic skills in listening, speaking, writing and reading the language. It serves a secondary function as a general introduction to modern Vietnamese society and culture, with dialogues, cultural notes, exercises and readings drawn from contemporary life and popular media there. Elementary Vietnamese is designed for effective self-study as well as for use in a college-level classroom. Features of the Third Edition include: Many hours of new audio recordings by native Vietnamese speakers. Innovative pronunciation drills to help you to achieve near-native pronunciation ability.

    Book is in very good condition as was shown in the pics. I received the package pretty fast considering it was coming from the other side of the country but it was definitely well packaged for the trip. I also feel a paid a good price for the book and would recommend this seller.

    This book was meticulously packed. Wrapped and packed in cardboard with enough tape to make opening it a little tough. It arrived in great condition (as described), no doubt thanks to this. I think the value was decent, considering it's rarity. Shipping was pretty good.
