Teach Yourself Romanian is a
complete course which introduces both colloquial and
written forms of Romanian. The emphasis is on learning
to use Romanian in a variety of situations. No knowledge
of grammatical terminology is assumed but traditional
grammatical terms are included for those who are familiar
with them.
Most of the 2,000 words introduced in
the course are those frequently used in everyday conversation,
and many of the vocabulary items are listed in the Romanian-English
and English-Romanian vocabularies at the end of the
book. The 20 carefully graded units of dialogues, culture
notes, grammar and exercises give you all you need to
be able to cope with a whole range of situations and
participate fully and confidently in all aspects of
Romanian life.
The accompanying cassette has been recorded
by native speakers and gives 70-minutes of listening
practice. The cassette is available separately or in
a pack with the book. |
