滬語開路 = Conversational Exercises in the Shanghai Dialect

A collection of progressive oral drills and dialogues designed to teach the Shanghai dialect, arranged as numbered exercises that build on Dr. Pott’s lesson vocabularies. The volume emphasizes learning by ear rather than written translation, offering short conversations and simple narratives that rehearse everyday situations—greetings, household chores, hiring tradespeople, markets, travel, school interactions, medical visits and small domestic disputes. Exercises include review sequences and practical prompts for student‑teacher practice, with one translated introductory lesson and guidance on classroom use and oral repetition.
