As an approximate count, at least 100 different talented individuals have been directly involved with VA in one way or another. I can't name them all here, but they know who they are and what they did. :) This is no luck at all, and we should not take it for granted. | 1 wmw lĩi AHFJIHMCKMii S3BIK BKAPTWHKAX H KPMCTMHA ws ENGLISH THROUGH PICTURES BOOKS 1 2 I. A. RICHARDS and CHRISTINE M. GIBSON WASHINGTON SQUARE PRESS INC. NEW YORK PREFACE ENGLISH THROUGH PICTURES This book will teach you the first steps of English. It gives you about 500 important words in sentences with the meaning shown through pictures. Read each page like this 1 3 2 4 The sentences will take on meaning for you as you compare them with the help of the accompanying pictures page by page. The load on your memory is kept light. All your attention can be given to seeing how changes in the sentences go along with changes in the meaning. Learning English this way is more like play than hard work. If you have to work alone it is best to work through writing and wait for the pronunciation until you have help. Study two or three pages together until you can give the sentences that go with the pictures. When you are forming the sentences do not rely on your memory alone try to understand in English what the pictures say. If you do this you will be thinking in English from the very start and that is the way to a mastery of the language. .
