Making Out in Vietnamese by Peter Constantine
Making Out in Vietnamese is a fun, accessible and thorough guide to Vietnamese as its really spoken. It has been updated and expanded to be even more helpful as a guide to modern colloquial Vietnamese for use in everyday informal interactions giving access to the sort of catchy expressions that arent covered in traditional language materials. It includes a pronunciation guide, topical notes throughout on key points of language and culture, and chapters based on typical real-life encounters with speakers of Thai.
Peter Constantine, winner of a PEN Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize and a National Translation Award, has earned wide acclaim for his translation of the complete works of Isaac Babel. His Modern Library translations include Gogol's Taras Bulba and Voltaire's Candide. Cynthia Ozick is the celebrated author of many novels, including The Shawl, The Puttermesser Papers, and Heir to the Glimmering World, and winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for her essay collection Quarrel & Quandary.
