15 Short Stories For Vietnamese Learners: Vietnamese Made Easy

This book, the first of a collection dedicated to short stories, was created to fill a void in the area of Vietnamese learning materials. Beyond the traditional textbooks to learn the basics of the language, there are few to none resources allowing learners to deepen their knowledge of Vietnamese.These 15 Short Stories For Vietnamese Learners are meant to provide you with entertaining stories, along with a unique system of literal translation to allow you to fully understand the construction of more elaborate sentences in Vietnamese. What is the aim of this collection of stories?1) To provide a wide array of stories, with a double aim: make the reading pleasurable and to learn vocabulary used in different situations. 2) Gradual difficulty. This edition, intended for "beginners" only contains stories of less than 500 words, classified in increasing order. 3) Vietnamese being a monosyllabic language, it may be difficult for a learner to distinguish one word from another. To help the learner, we have 3) 2 types of translations: A.Literal English Translation, that allows you to easily recognize each individual wordB.Proper English translation: that allows you to see how ideas in English are expressed in daily Vietnamese.4) For each story, there is also an audio track available, also spoken out a bit slower than the usual conversational speed, so that you also have the possibility to improve your listening ability and your pronunciation.This book is the result of the collaboration between Phan Ngoc Thi and Ralf Krenning. Thi, who majored in English, has a deep understanding of his own language as well as extensive experience in teaching it to foreigners. Ralf, now a writer after a career in the pharmaceutical industry, has a passion for learning languages.Together, they identified the difficulties for foreigners to master Vietnamese and then proposed this unique solution, contained in this e book, to significantly ease the learning process of Vietnamese, while reading entertaining texts.
