Learn German Language Fast Course Book

Learn German Language Fast Course Book

Learn German Language course is designed as a response to the oft-repeated call for something less elaborate than the author's larger work. Its aim, therefore, is simply and rigidly practical. The plan differs not materially from that which characterizes the author's English Course for Germans, published in 1848 the exercises throughout being alternately English and German. The details of the method, therefore, need not here be pointed out; as a glance at the following pages will convey a better impression of the leading features of the course, than any amount of statement and specification. With this brief prefatory note, with sincere thanks for the favor shown to his previous productions, and with the hope that the present one will not be less deserving of regard.

Play your Instinct Language

This Book explains everything you always wanted to know about language, how it works, how children learn it, how it changes, how the brain computes it, and how it evolved. With deft use of examples of humor and wordplay, Steven Pinker weaves our vast knowledge of language into a compelling story: language is a human instinct, wired into our brains by evolution. The Language Instinct received the William James Book Prize from the American Psychological Association and the Public Interest Award from the Linguistics Society of America.

free Japanese Prasebook

apanese is not a tonal language like Chinese or Thai, and is comparatively easy to pronounce. The vowels are pronounced virtually identical to the "Italian way" and there are very few consonants that do not exist in English. All syllables are to be pronounced equal in length.

Long vowels take the length of two syllables. Combinations like kya are treated like one syllable and are the only occurrence of sliding vowels, all other syllables are to be pronounced rather separately.

Also avoid placing too much emphasis on particular words or syllables. Although Japanese does have a form of stress and intonation, it is significantly flatter than English. Word stress is much more subtle and neglecting it at this point should not interfere with meaning.

Trying to keep your intonation flat will make your attempts to speak Japanese more comprehensible to local listeners. When asking questions, you can raise the tone at the end, as in English.

Learning Japanese 4 Busy People

Learn Japanese that can be put to immediate use in conversational situations.

In the ten years since its publication, Japanese for Busy People has won acceptance worldwide as an effective, easy-to-understand textbook, either for classroom use or for independent study. In this new edition, numerous revisions and additions have been made, taking into account the comments and responses of both students and teachers who have been using the course.

In Book I, the revisions are directed at making the grammatical explanations easier to understand, while adding further explanations of points that students have difficulty with. Changes have also been made in favor of more natural practice sentences and dialogues. In addition, new appendices list the particles,
interrogatives, and sentence patterns in the book, as well as the kanji introduced.

Vocabulary and grammar have been limited to about one-third that usually encountered in beginner courses, and words and patterns that students will find immediately useful are emphasized.

The thirty lessons are composed of dialogues, notes on grammar, and vocabulary, exercises and quizzes. In addition to developing verbal fluency, by the time the student is one-third the way through Book I he will have mastered the two phonetic syllabaries of Japanese.

This concise course in natural Japanese is ideal for such students as businessmen whose aim is a working knowledge of the spoken language in everyday life. Survival Japanese for Adults,' as it might be called, gets to the heart of the language without recourse to childish or classroom-only Japanese.
