The "Bonjour"/"Salut" Collection
This Collection brings together ways to learn languages which are rare (even if they are widely spoken in the world), that are designed for learning by oneself. Each kit includes a manual, sound cassettes with complete dialogue transcripts, and exercises. The word for "Bonjour" ('hello'), or "Salut" ('goodbye'), in the language is used as the title or sub-title of these kits, which can be used by beginners or not-so-beginners.
Most recent title
Drehu/Lifou is the first "En paroles" title in the Bonjour/Salut collection. This book portrays the culture of the inhabitants of Lifou – the largest of the Loyalty Islands, beyond New Caledonia – through the authentic words of the islanders.
This book was presented at the Expolangues 2010 Fair.
