[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a book for studying foreign languages such as English conversation and French conversation using an image information recording medium such as a video tape or a video disk.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A foreign language conversation such as English, French, and German is recorded on a cassette tape in accordance with a learning content in which conversation scenes of which the degree is gradually increased from the introduction are set. In the text, set each scene as a unit, put the foreign language conversation of each unit and its Japanese translation on the spread page of the text, explain words such as words and idioms to be careful, explanation of common expressions, pronunciation A foreign language conversation study book in which the above notes and the like are described in the form of a column has been conventionally known.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the present invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional foreign language conversation study book, terms such as words and idioms,
As explanations of idiomatic expressions etc. are described in the form of columns in the margins, if the degree gradually increases and the unit of foreign language conversation sentence becomes longer, the number of terms and idiomatic expressions to be careful will increase and the column In some cases, it is difficult to immediately find where the explanation is, there is a possibility that the learning rhythm may stop, and there is a risk that organic and efficient learning will be hindered.

In the case of learning a foreign language conversation using a cassette tape, the conversation comes only from the ears. In particular, in the case of a complicated conversation, the scene of the conversation, such as the relationship between the conversation and the expression or gesture of the speaker at that time. There are many cases where it is difficult to recall concretely, and there are cases where it is difficult to understand as an expression of idiomatic expressions.

[0005] As a supplement to such disadvantages of learning a foreign language conversation by a single person using a cassette tape, foreign language learning on a television has become widespread, and a Japanese lecturer and a native foreign assistant share the explanation and pronunciation. Since the lecture was conducted with a short play, and the contents of the lecture were prepared as separate textbooks, it can be said that the learning effect is higher than the learning by a cassette tape alone.

However, in the case of learning a foreign language using a television, since the broadcast time is fixed, it is hard to say that it is always available to people who are busy with school or work. Therefore, the present invention relates to a foreign language conversation study book that can be done by yourself, a video of the scene where the foreign language learning is set, a Japanese translation corresponding to the foreign language conversation, explanation of the terms to be careful and the background of the scene, and iterative learning The purpose of the present invention is to provide a commentary describing the pages and the like, and to combine them all organically so that foreign language learning can be effectively performed.

[0007]

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the whole system of a foreign language conversation study book using images of the present invention.
A video tape recorder (hereinafter abbreviated as VTR) 4 and a cassette tape recorder 5 connected to a television 2 via a decoder 3 for erasing subtitles in a foreign language displayed on a screen of English and French. A plurality of (for example, six) video tapes 6 recording foreign language conversations such as German, a plurality of (for example, six) cassette tapes 7 recording foreign language conversations, A plurality of commentary books (for example, three textbooks) 8 that contain word conversations, Japanese translations, cautionary terms, commentary on the background of the scene, tests of idiomatic expressions, vocabularies of important words, etc., also recorded on cassette tape And a plurality of commentary books 9 (for example, a collection of six foreign language conversations) containing the sentences of the foreign language conversations. Note that V
Instead of the TR 4 and the video tape 6, another image information recording medium such as a laser disk and a reproducing apparatus therefor may be used.

FIG. 2 shows a page 10 having a commentary 8 containing one scene recorded on the video tape 6. At the top of page 10 (page 36 in this embodiment) of the first half of the commentary book 8, the number of this scene 11 and its title 12 are written like "Seane 23 at the house of Panky". The number of the scene 11 indicates one learning unit, and the learning content gradually increases as the number of the scene increases. The three manuals (texts) 8 are also configured according to the difficulty. Also, the number of the scene 11 and the title 1
Below 2, a picture 13 of the scene on the left and a brief description 14 of the scene set on the right, i.e. the scene of FIG. It is written that it is.

Further, below the picture 13 and the description 14 of the scene, the page is divided into right and left, and the conversation of the four people is written in English 15 in the left column. This English 15 is a videotape 6
Is played back on the TV 2 so that subtitles appear on the screen, so that you can study hearing while watching the screen. Also, as described above, the subtitles of the foreign language displayed on this screen can be appropriately deleted by the decoder 3, so that, depending on the progress of the learner's learning, the foreign language displayed in the subtitles can be viewed mainly. You can proceed with the study, or erase the foreign language subtitles, look at the images, and listen to the raw English conversation.

At the right end of the conversation of the English sentence 15, a sentence number 16 is given by a serial number for each English sentence. Notable terms in the conversation, such as "anoth" in the first Punky conversation

It is designed to enable students to learn English conversation at the center. When the user wants to refer to the sidenote 18 or the Japanese translation 21 as needed, the sentence number 16 can be used as a key to immediately refer to the sentence, and organic learning according to the degree of the learner can be advanced.
