The name of the book for Slavic languages is "Slavische Interkomprehension: Eine Einführung". Written in German and the languages covered in the description are Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Polish, Czech, Russian, and Ukranian. You can buy it at Amazon.de One other thing about the Germanic languages, is the book is suppose to have some sort of update, but who know when? There are two reviews: "A specter is haunting Europe -. Monolingualism the specter of the fear of a lingua franca, the language skills makes obsolete, but also the ability of communication and expression diversity of people severely restricts, is clearly noticeable in the current European domestic politics. As a possible alternative to a binding lingua franca, the Intercomprehension offers. Intercomprehension is a language learning method to reading and listening comprehension in other languages (in addition to the mother or a bridge language, ie, a well-known foreign language) to open up. After Doyé (2005) Intercomprehension is a "form of communication in which each participant speaks one language and the languages of other conversation participant understands." With this approach, the perfectionist approximation to the mother tongue is neglected, the learner can immediately find out what they already know, ie they do not need to learn. This is due to the concentration on the Common Language, the quasi already (unconsciously) known. Exactly at this point is where the author's collective. The material comes from the reading courses at the Ruhr-University Bochum, in five Slavinen (Slavic languages) are offered: - Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian - Polish - Czech - Russian . - Ukrainian the book "Slavic Intercomprehension" is ergo a structural and content summary of these readers courses, which can be used either directly as a study book and as a reference by the interested reader. After a concise introduction to the subject Intercomprehension, a brief but highly interesting linguistic notion of five Slavinen, with their respective sound and (ortho-) graphics system (letters and pronunciation). Thereupon includes one fairly extensive (about 50 pages), Table collection of basic vocabulary to. Presents the key nouns, verbs, numbers up to some standard phrases. Slavic linguistic history is addressed in the chapter "According equivalent" in fundamentals. Following this, the most important inflection patterns are in the "Morphology" section introduced, denoting the others, declension, conjugation, pronouns. Of course, the syntax (sentence structure: sentence types, sentence structure) with their characteristics analyzed. In both fields is as characteristic of the learning method Intercomprehension, the focus on the critical Sprachgemeinsamkeiten. For understanding the meanings of words and text content the clear presentation of word formation process is helpful. recently the readers are two practice texts in five languages, including the exercises, leave for editing: the fairy tale Cinderella (not too complex text) and the first paragraphs of the Communist Manifesto ( high demands on language comprehension). The final glossary has been included for the sake of completeness, and turns exclusively to the professional audience. Praiseworthy is the most comprehensive and very well structured by subject bibliography. Intercomprehension The is a very valuable approach in the current political context. With the work of the authors conclude a substantive gap - Slavic is thus paving the way to keep the future of the methodical developments, especially in the Romance language family step. The time required and the teamwork that was required for this post could be made, deserves great credit. A completely successful introduction to the topic and a perfect starting point to generate further scientific knowledge in the field of language learning methods." Second review: "The linguist, but especially the language historian, is thrilled. But also for the general Slavic languages and in particular interested for one, two or more Slavic languages learners, this book is a great addition. With this book, anyone can even teach well, but it should be used, etc. of teachers and teachers of Russian, Polish intensively in the classroom." One addition is a book, that has a similar cover to the EuroCom books is one named "Katalanisch express: sofort Katalanisch lesen durch Ihre Brückensprache" Here is the review: "Where can you learn Catalan in this country? That is the question, if you decide to leave on vacation not only to its Spanish or French language skills. The Catalonians are supposed to be something special and feel free to ask something stubborn when someone wants to know something in a different language .. So I added myself this book. Especially with these two other 'Brücken' languages Catalan in the background can understand quite well. When you know what to look for. The book presents a short introductory texts before, the importance of which developed themselves. For this purpose between the lines is always a wider space in which one notes the translation itself derived using the knowledge of other Romance language / s or even of English. Footnotes explain the not so simple herzuleitenden terms. And in between the grammar is explained briefly. Finally, there's still a compendium containing the following: 1 Geographical distribution and number of speakers 2 Historical origin and spread of 3 Dialectal variants of Catalan 4 Characteristic of Catalan 5 Minilex Catalan 6 The structure of Catalan words , the brief historical excursus explains why the Catalans are so eager to cultivate their language. And the characteristic explains the peculiarities of pronunciation. The mini encyclopedia provides an overview of the main four hundred words. A CD containing the text, read by different speakers. All in all, much thoughtful material for those who want to deal with this language and already know one way or another Romance language. And a good help for self-learning." I once again used google translate, so be aware the translation might not be exact. 4 persons have voted this message useful | |
