Yong Peng,

Recently a got a copy of Buddhadatta's Aids to Pali Conversation and Translation (1951).
It is a small book (228 pp.) with five components: Words in groups (pp. 1-46),
Conversations (pp. 47-86), Aids to Translation (pp. 87-133), Pali-English Vocabulary (pp.
134-79), English-Pali Vocabulary (pp. 180-228). There are no exercises as such, but the
translation passages could be used (fairly difficult, though). How helpful it would be to
those interested in spoken Pali I cannot say, but I would be willing to type it out as you
have been doing for the New Course II. I would need a few pointers about format, and the
copyright question is also pertinent.
