W. Crofoot and F. Rawlinson is a language education book written during the early 20th century. This book serves as a supplemental resource designed to help learners of the Shanghai dialect practice conversational skills through connected dialogues and exercises. The primary topic addresses the practical application of language learning, particularly focused on the Shanghai dialect as a means for communication among foreign personnel in Shanghai. The book includes a series of conversational exercises based on lessons from Dr. Pott's previous work on the Shanghai dialect. Each exercise introduces a new dialogue or short story relevant to various everyday situations, helping students familiarize themselves with vocabulary and pronunciation. The dialogues emphasize pronunciation differences, tonal qualities, and contextual usage of terms, promoting a deeper understanding of the language through repetition and conversation. The authors encourage students not to rely excessively on written translations, promoting instead the cultivation of thinking directly in the Shanghai dialect as they engage in practice.
