"Tetum, a Language for Everyone / Tetun, Lian Ida ba Ema Hotu-Hotu" ia a comprehensive course book for English-speaking learners of Tetum.
This is a book containing both grammar and conversation, as well as supplementary information to quickly assimilate language skills. It will assist learners in understanding the basic rules of the Tetum language and provide a foundation for oral communication.
The book follows the traditional pattern of a language textbook, with each lesson comprising a dialogue, grammatical or conversational notes, and a minimum of one exercise to facilitate language acquisition. Explanations and examples are given to show how to use the language properly and in the culturally correct manner.
TETUM, A LANGUAGE FOR EVERYONE includes:
* Tetum at a single glance
* a pronunciation guide
notes on orthography
* a concise phrasebook
* geographical names
* symbols and punctuation
* diagram of the human body
* sample letters in Tetum
* prefixes and suffixes
* a concise two-way dictionary
This programmed, self-paced lesson focuses exclusively on the use of postpostions (ga and (w)o) with grammatical objects in the Japanese language without wavering or getting off track in the labyrinth of Japanese syntax and other grammatical issues.
