The Complete Interactive Learning Solution
The Learn To Speak program will be your principal tool for gaining listening comprehension and conversation skills, but this text can serve as a handy reference tool for vocabulary and grammar questions, as an aid during your conversations with the onscreen characters, and as a workbook for reviewing and practicing grammar.
The text is organized into eight major sections which have been marked by tabs to facilitate access:
Basic Expressions contains all the expressions introduced in the Basics Course of the program. Use this section to review and practice common phrases. You may also want to refer to this section as you practice branching Conversations with onscreen characters.
Story and Action contains the dialogues from all the lessons in the Extended Courses. Use this section to review the dialogues and to practice your reading skills. You may also want to refer to this section as you practice branching Conversations with onscreen characters.
Grammar contains a reference grammar. The content of the grammar largely coincides with the content and organization of the Grammar Guide in the program. Use this section to learn about specific grammar points, such as the Present Tense of Regular Verbs, or to review entire categories, such as Verbs or Nouns.
Exercises contains exercises for selected grammar points. The exercises are drawn from the program content, but have been modified to fit a textual format. Use this section to practice your grammar when you are unable to use the program, and to see where you need more practice.
Answer Key contains the answers to the exercises. Appendices contains handy grammar charts and a grammar glossary.
Vocabulary contains the vocabulary from your Learn To Speak program. It is arranged alphabetically according to the foreign language.
Indices contains alphabetical indices of selected grammar points and the Story and Action dialogues.
