DLI Albanian Language Course - Volume 10

This final volume of the Albanian course (Volume 10) is the text for a part of each of ten daily lesson cycles of the last weeks of the Intermediate Phase, usually the 30th and 31st week. Its purpose is to present specialized Air Force terminology in a variety of different contexts, especially in regard to radio communication.

Each lesson consists of a prose narrative, a set of questions, and a glossary of new vocabulary items and idioms. The more specialized terminology of the narrative is briefly introduced in class, whereupon the student studies the narrative itself at home, until he is able to answer the questions on it in class on the following day. The ultimate objectives are mastery of the terminology and the ready use of it in free conversation.
