Vietnamese Beginner's Course

By Nguyen Binh, Nguyen Binh Nfa Copyright 2001

    A complete course for beginners, reflecting a multiplicity of roles. It has a slight bias towards the spoken language, with most of the course based on dialogue format, but also provides notes on relevant linguistic points on a sufficiently detailed level so that it can be used as a self-teaching material for independent learners with the help of tapes and instructions on tape.
