Beginning Kurmanji Kurdish: DVD-ROM (Critical Languages Series)

The Beginning Kurmanji Kurdish DVD-ROM is the equivalent of a textbook and workbook, with audio and video. It can be used either by independent learners or by students in a traditional or self-instructional classroom setting, and is equivalent to a one-year college course. This practical course will provide you with confidence communicating in Kurmanji at an everyday level. Topics include: greetings, shopping, food and dining, weather, education, literature, holiday traditions, and more. This classroom tested DVD-ROM contains 25 video clips and over 9,000 audio recordings made with native speakers. With the click of a button hear native speakers pronounce words or sentences and translations. Exercises include: Multiple Choice, Fill-in-the-Blank, Audio Flashcards, Pronunciation, and Listening Dictation–so you can test and improve your knowledge of each lesson. Learners with microphone-equipped computers can record and play back their own voices, then compare their pronunciation with that of the native speaker. The many activities accommodate a wide range of learning styles and preferences. Works on Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7. For more information, visit the UA Critical Languages Web site.
