FSI Vietnamese Basic Course (Volume 2) - Image This is the 2nd volume (of 2) of the FSI Vietnamese Basic course. It contains units 1-10 of the course. The method underlying these lessons Is guided imitation; the aim is automatically. Ideally, there are two teachers: under the supervision of a scientific linguist, who talks ABOUT Vietnamese, the student learns to speak the language in direct imitation of a tutor who is a native speaker of Vietnamese. The tutor drills on the Vietnamese In the text, providing an authentic model for the student to imitate. Statements on how the language is manipulated are included in the explanatory notes In the text, which may be supplemented, if necessary, by further discussions on the part of the linguist. As a supplement to class hours with a tutor - or even, if necessary, as a replacement for them-students work with taped recordings which approximate the classroom situation.

Language learning is overlearning. Through memorization of whole utterances, and substitution within and manipulation of these utterances, a student achieves the fluency and automatically that are necessary for control of a language. Language learning involves acquiring a new set of habits, and habits must be automatic. Just as the experienced driver performs the mechanics of driving unconsciously
Vietnamese is the national, official language of Vietnam. It is the native language of Vietnamese people (Kinh), and of about three million Vietnamese residing elsewhere. It also is spoken as a first or second language by many ethnic minorities of Vietnam. It is part of the Austroasiatic language family of which it has, by far, the most speakers (several times that of the other Austroasiatic languages combined). Much of Vietnamese vocabulary has been borrowed from Chinese, and it formerly used a modified set of Chinese characters called Chữ Nôm given vernacular pronunciation. As a byproduct of French colonial rule, Vietnamese was influenced by the French language; the Vietnamese alphabet in use today is a Latin alphabet with additional diacritics for tones, and certain letters.
