The third volume in a four-part language course, this textbook
enables students to become competent in reading and writing Burmese
script. Most students find it helpful to begin learning the script
at the same time as they start on the spoken language, but this
volume can be used independently if preferred. In addition to lists
of words for reading and writing practice, presented in a series of
short graduated lessons, Okell includes sample texts from Burmese
materials such as product labels, newspaper headlines, and maps.
Appendices on handwriting and cursive forms, display fonts, the
Burmese names of the characters, Burmese alphabetical order, and
common abbreviations round out the book.One of the challenges of
learning a non-roman script language from traditional course books
is that the use of the roman alphabet to describe sounds is not as
effective as hearing the sounds. The extensive audio files that
accompany this volume allow the learner to hear and produce the
sounds corresponding to the symbols. Language professors and their
students or those learning Burmese on their own will appreciate the
accessible approach and the manageable size of the lessons of the
very practical textbooks in this series.
