The goal of this 3-volume course is to take the student to a 3/3+ listening comprehension capability by exposing him or her to actual conversations in Vietnamese at an increasing level of difficulty, beginning at a 2 or 2+ level and progressing to the 3 and 3+ level. Ideally, the student using this transcription course has completed the Dunwoody Press Vietnamese Intensive Basic Course, thus ensuring a level 2/2+ capability in all language skills. Volume 1 contains 14 supplemental lessons that may be used in whole or in part as a primer for the basic lessons, or they may substitute for an equal number of basic lessons. Volume 2 contains lessons 1-18 and Volume 3 contains lessons 19-36, as well as a cumulative glossary of all 36 basic lessons. The 36 basic lessons consist of a skeletonized transcript (for the first 18 lessons only), a vocabulary section exemplifying most of the vocabulary words glossed, sometimes a separate grammar notes section, an exercise section in the front of the volume with an accompanying exercise key, and a complete (cut by cut) transcript and a (cut by cut) translation of the transcript in the back. (This publication is sold as a complete set only.)
