Speak German - FSI Course

This Basic Course in German has been des-igned to assist United States Government representatives who require a command of spoken German. The general concept of this text has grown out of the plan of Spoken Language courses prepared under the auspices of the American Council of Learned Societies during World War II. But pattern drills and other exercises have been developed extensively at the Foreign Service Insti- tute to provide a much fuller manipulation of forms and patterns. and
a conscious attempt has been-made to adapt situations and vocabulary to specific needs of the Foreign Service. And the course is intended to
lay asolid foundation for comprehensive language skills. providing systematically for the development of reading proficiency based on oral- aural skills.
