I find LSA/ACLS manuals for Chinese (1945), Melanesian pidgin (1943),
Spoken Korean (1947), Spoken Japanese (1945), Colloquial Dutch (1944),
Spoken Dutch (1944) [I'm not sure how this differs from Colloquial
Dutch--ed.], Spoken Burmese (1945), Spoken Danish (1945), Spoken Malay
(1945), Spoken Thai (1945), Spoken Serbo-Croatian (1945), Spoken Russian
(1945), Spoken German (1940?), Spoken Spanish (1940?), Spoken Turkish
(1944) [my old textbook]. Many appeared in the "Holt spoken language
