Amoy Hokkien
Language, Audio Cassette Course, Volume 1.
Includes 16 audio cassette tapes, and a
638-page textbook. Amoy Hokkien is the major Chinese dialect of
Fukien Province, widely spoken in Taiwan (Formosa), Malaysia, and
Singapore.
This language course
was developed by Spoken Language Services, "the original self-study
language teacher." Featuring techniques pioneered by professional linguists
during World War II, these no-nonsense courses have been
used successfully by thousands of students to jump-start their foreign
language training. No other method has proved more effective than the
simple listen-and-imitate method these courses employ.
In fact, it is the same way we all learned as children to speak our native
language!
Most of the courses in the Spoken Language Series were prepared
originally by professional linguists under the aegis of the American
Council of Learned Societies and the Linguistic Society of America.
Books are self-instruction and are accompanied by
cassettes keyed to the course material. Cassettes are recorded by
native speakers and cover conversations, pronunciation exercises,
and TRUE-FALSE tests. Each word or phrase is spoken first in English*
and then twice in the language of the course, with a pause
after each utterance to allow the listener to repeat and imitate. The
cassettes can be used for practice without the text. If you truly
want to learn and speak the Amharic language, this is an excellent
instruction course.
Grammatical explanations are given for the
language content already learned. The learner gets systematic development
of the linguistic structure instead of first learning a grammar and then
trying to fit utterances into it.
Course material covered in Book I is roughly equivalent to one
semester's intensive study (8 class hours per week with 30 hours outside
practice). At the end of the course the learner should
have a good grounding in everyday vocabulary, grammar, and usage,
and be able to communicate with native speakers. This could be
exactly the course that you are looking for!
