LAN5UA6E COURSE
.£5
AVAILABLE
If you're headed for duty in Japan
or Korea or if you're just plain inter
ested you'll want to investigate the
new language familiarization courses
now available at the Fletcher Library
in the Bering Building, The Library
has 3 kits on Japanese and 3 kits on
Korean language which consist of 33 l/3
RPM Long Playing records and a guide
book to the records.
These recordings are designed for
use with the applicable familiarization
manual (which is included with each
course). The records are a valuable
supplementary aid to instruction in
either Jananese or Korean as a second
language for individual or for family
use outside of the regular class hours
They provide an opportunity for students
to hear and imitate the speech of nat
ive Japanese and Korean people. Facil
ity in speaking a foreign language
comes mostreadily from imitating utter
ances of native speakers of that lang
uage. Thus, in the absence of such
persons to produce utterances for rep
etition by the student, mechanical
recordings serve the purpose almost as
well. Whether in individual or group
work, the student should practice each
lessen many times before passing on to
the next lesson.
For quick and easy reference the 2
12" LP recordings have been divided
into 9 bands which correspond directly
with the respective pages in the text
of the manual. Record one is primarily
concerned with civilian vocabulary
while record two contains military
terminology, etc.
The kits are available for check
out from the library in the Bering
Building and may be checked out for a
period of one month.
Another service made available to
you fromyour Special Services Division
Use these Kits and use your library
too, you'll be much the better for it.
