  15. <para>This publication is to be used primarily in support of instructing military personnel
  16. as part of the Defense Language Program (resident and nonresident). Inquiries concerning
  17. the use of materials, including requests for copies, should be addressed to:</para>
  18. <para>Defense Language Institute </para>
  19. <para>Foreign Language Center </para>
  20. <para>Nonresident Training Division </para>
  21. <para>Presidio of Monterey, CA 93944-5006</para>
  22. <para> Topics in the areas of politics, international relations, mores, etc., which may be
  23. considered as controversial from some points of view, are sometimes included in the
  24. language instruction for DLIFLC students since military personnel may find themselves in
  25. positions where a clear understanding of conversations or written materials of this
  26. nature will be essential to their mission. The presence of controversial
  27. statements—whether real or apparent—in DLIFLC materials should not be construed as
  28. representing the opinions of the writers, the DLIFLC, or the Department of Defense. </para>
  29. <para>Actual brand names and businesses are sometimes cited in DLIFLC instructional
  30. materials to provide instruction in pronunciations and meanings. The selection of such
  31. proprietary terms and names is based solely on their value for instruction in the
  32. language. It does not constitute endorsement of any product or commercial enterprise,
  33. nor is it intended to invite a comparison with other brand names and businesses not
  34. mentioned. </para>
  35. <para>In DLIFLC publications, the words he, him, and/or his denote both masculine and
  36. feminine genders. This statement does not apply to translations of foreign language
  37. texts. </para>
  38. <para>The DLIFLC may not have full rights to the materials it produces. Purchase by the
  39. customer does net constitute authorization for reproduction, resale, or showing for
  40. profit. Generally, products distributed by the DLIFLC may be used in any not-for-profit
  41. setting without prior approval from the DLIFLC. </para>

  50. <para>The document will be edited with traditional characters, and converted to
  51. simplified later. The transformation from traditional to simplified is far more
  52. accurate than the other way I intended to do.</para>
  53. <para>The tones in the book sentences will match how the word would sound when spoken in
  54. a sentence, not how it sounds in the dictionary. </para>
