Romanian Audio CD Language Course.

Includes 6 sixty-minute audio CD discs ( = 4 hours), and a 334-page textbook. Bright Star Language Services is "the original self-study language teacher." Featuring techniques pioneered by professional linguists, 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 Bright Star Language Series were prepared originally by professional linguists under the aegis of the American Council of Learned Societies and the Linguistic Society of America. The book is self-instructional and is accompanied by audio CD's keyed to the course material. Audio CD's 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 audio CD's can be used for practice without the text. Each part ends with a Romanian-English vocabulary. 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! Produced with "advanced sound engineering" which enhances the tonal quality of the native speakers and the clarity of sound by at least 30%. Finally, you can understand what they are saying. Advanced sound engineering is only offered by Bright Star Publications. Customer response: "Dear Arthur, I would like to thank you for the delivery that I received some time ago. Unfortunately, I did not have time to write back sooner. Everything is ok and my husband is already learning. It seems the course is really good. Regards, Nataly B."
