FOR EACH LESSON:

1. Listen to the entire dialogue while following the English translation in the book to tell you what

the foreign sentences mean.

2. Listen again while following the foreign transcription to help you with details in the pronunciation.

3. Listen again with the book half closed look inside only when you need reminders about the

meaning or pronunciation.

4. Replay individual phrases and say them aloud without referring to the book if possible. Imitate the

voice on tape as closely as you can. Replay and repeat each phrase, then add phrases together to build

a full sentence. Continue to build phrases into sentences in this way, until you can say the complete

sentence easily and in unison with the tape while understanding what you are saying. Use the book

only for occasional reference.

5. Say the sentences of the dialogue along with the speaker on the tape again and again until you can

produce the foreign sentences easily and quickly given only the English ones as cues.
