This is a concise, do-it- yourself guide to the Lao language
"Lao Basics" teaches conversational Lao from the very beginning
with an emphasis on reading and writing. Students of Thai will find
Lao quite simple, as much of these two languages are the same or
very similar. These languages derive from Sanskrit and share many
of the same consonants, vowels, vocabulary and grammar. "Lao
Basics" is organized so that you first learn to read Lao, write
Lao, speak Lao and comprehend the 26 consonants in their tonal
classes. Once you have mastered these you will study the 28 vowels
in subsets. Within each vowel grouping, you will learn vocabulary,
conversational phrases, alphabetical order and sentence structure
through exercises that grow more challenging as your vocabulary
increases.
As you progress through "Lao Basics," vocabulary from previous
lessons will be repeated regularly and our command of the written
and spoken language will steadily improve. And you can do all this
on your own. Each chapter's Lao words and exercises have been
recorded on the accompanying MP3 audio-CD, and all of the exercises
answers are in the back of the book.
Highlights of this book are: Throughout, review exercises with
answer keys help you polish your skills. The vocabulary and phrases
are written in Lao script, and are accompanied by pronunciations
that help English speakers to say them accurately. The MP3 audio CD
includes every vocabulary item, sample phrases, and exercises, so
that you can learn from native voices.
