PEOPLE’S NAMES
Section A—Basic Sentences
To the Group Leader: If you have been working only with the phonograph records, without any Guide, you will be on your
own from now on. When the group goes through the Basic Sentences and the Listening In sections, choose some¬
one with good pronunciation to do the reading. From now on all the group members will have to be particularly
on the watch to detect and correct faulty pronunciation.
Beginning with this unit, the Aids to Listening are given only for new words.
