General Description
The vast majority of books on each disc are in bilingual English-Foreign language. There are a few that are purely in a foreign language (e.g. dictionaries of local dialects), and these typically have non-English titles (although some of the bilingual textbooks actually have non-English titles too). Some of the books within our series of foreign languages discs contain illustrations, maps, diagrams, tables, etc. Most of these eBooks have searchable text too, and thus it will be possible to copy and paste text from the eBooks, onto word processing documents (as well as, of course, it being possible to search for individual words and phrases, on Adobe Reader or Notepad).
ContentsThe following folder categories can be found with each language item (some categories might not be present - check the contents listings further down): * Dialects: Includes local variations within a language. * Dictionaries: Includes dictionaries, etymology, lexicons, thesauruses and vocabularies. * Grammar: Includes morphology and syntax. * Historical: Includes ancient dialects, ancient humanities and some etymologies. * Literature & Reading: Includes literature (inc. poetry), translating, writing / composition, and in some cases, sociology and anthropology too. * Speaking: Oriented toward phonetical pronunciation, although pronouncing dictionaries will most likely be found in the Dictionaries folder. Please excuse the abbreviated titles used in these lists. The documents were thus labelled due to constraints on the maximum number of characters permitted in a filename. The contents of most of these books are vast and varied - do not assume that the title conveys their full portent! Because listing the contents and bibliographic details for all books would be such an enormous undertaking, no contents are listed here, but you will undoubtedly be impressed when you discover them yourself. The books contain precious perspectives and learning categories. In other words, every book is unique!
