Target Audience

[edit source]

I think it would be useful to make some statements about this, to guide any new contributors / readers. Recent Runes (talk) 11:59, 22 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

  1. The book is aimed primarily at teenage and adult learners, who are above school leaving age.
  2. The book is intended mainly for individual study, although nothing prevents it being used in the classroom.
Since it's been nearly a week without any objections, you might implement this if you have time. Maybe add it to the introduction for readers, or create a guidelines page for contributors. --hagindaz 15:09, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
I'll put something down then. I don't think there are any changes to the lessons implied, as I see this as just reflecting the content and style of the current material. Recent Runes (talk) 19:56, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Vulgarity

[edit source]

I must agree that many people would think the slang chapter is not suitable for children, but this is practically the only vulgar material. The collection does not include this, so would be suitable for a younger audience. Recent Runes (discusscontribs) 00:08, 25 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Aha, I didn't realize that. I thought maybe it was also in the PDF. Do you think I should roll the changes back? Coupe (discusscontribs) 00:27, 25 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
P.S. I played with your book cover this afternoon. (French Book Illustration 02.jpg) I thought maybe a little flag color :-) Coupe (discusscontribs) 00:27, 25 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
RE: the description of age range, probably some intermediate form of words would be best. The slang chapter does appear in the PDF version of the print version at the moment, but not in the PDF produced by the collection. Of course it is quite easy for people to make their own collections if desired. One advantage of the print version is that it can be used as a stable "release" and you can have greater control over the layout, with new lessons starting at the top of a page and tables not being split between pages etc. At present the print version seems to be broken though, so there is probably a problem with a template somewhere. Hagindaz is the real expert on that stuff, so hopefully he will look it over sometime. Recent Runes (discusscontribs) 19:43, 25 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
