This volume comprises the basic module of "Contemporary Cambodian." There are 60 lessons, each of which contains a dialogue, drills, and a list of the words introduced in that lesson. In the first 30 lessons, the dialogue and drills are written in a romanized transcription, and the dialogue is written a second time in Cambodian script in order that beginning students can practice reading. Lessons contain reading passages using vocabulary introduced in that and preceding lessons. Cambodian script is used beginning with lesson 31. Forty-five lessons cover general topics including food, visiting the doctor, and transportation. The final 15 lessons treat military topics. A series of comprehensive questions for each lesson and a glossary are included. (Author/RL)
