Tiến Sĩ Mai Ngọc Chừ (ed.) Studying Vietnamese through English. Học tiếng Việt qua tiếng Anh

Hà Nội: Nhà xuất bản Thế Giới, 1997. — 549 trang.
Thế Giới PublishersThis book is written for foreigners studying Vietnamese not only in Vietnam but also in other countries and for those who want to study by themselves. The author`s experience in teaching Vietnamese to foreigners in Vietnam and also learners overseas has shown that if a textbook is too difficult and complicated, learners find it difficult to digest. So, although they have finished a course, they are still unable to speak Vietnamese. Thus this book has been simplified to make learning easier and much explanation is given in English. This is a modem Vietnamese textbook written for people today. In addition to familiar topics such as “shopping”, “eating – drinking”, “traffic”, “health”, “sports”, etc., there are also new topics (which have never appeared in the other textbooks published in Vietnam before) such as “telephoning”, “bank – currency”, etc. Each lesson in this book consists of six sections Conversations, Grammar, Practice.Reading comprehension, Exercises and Key to the exercises.
