This textbook presumes knowledge of the contents of Spoken
Vietnamese for Beginners or an understanding of the basic
vocabulary and sentence structures of Vietnamese. Its aim is to
build on that understanding through the development of general
conversation skills and reading comprehension. The book follows the
format of Spoken Vietnamese for Beginners as well: each lesson
opens with conversations, a second section explains and gives
additional examples of sentence structures and expressions, and a
third section offers exercises based on the conversations as well
as various readings. A fourth section provides grounding in
expanded vocabulary. The conversations in this textbook revolve
around a foreign student coming to Vietnam to study. In the
conversations, people share opinions across cultures and ask for
information ranging from the practicalities of travel to cultural
awareness. The vocabulary covered here touches on health,
economics, etiquette, and religion. The conversations and exercises
in this textbook will be made available online as audio files. The
book and accompanying audio-an integral component to Contemporary
Vietnamese-can be used either with a teacher or for self-study.
Language professors and their students-or those learning Vietnamese
on their own-will appreciate the accessible approach and manageable
size of this textbook.
