RCA Victor's New Spanish Records
RCA Victor announces the release of a new Spanish-language record set titled Netv World Spanish, including two albums of ten 10-inch records, together with a 337-page textbook. Prepared and arranged by outstanding Spanish-language authorities in this country, the new set is designed to give a practical and authentic approach to the learning of the language by students in classrooms and individuals in homes or clubs.
The set was prepared jointly by Henry Grattan Doyle and Francisco Aguilera. Mr. Doyle is Dean of Columbian College of George Washington University and was Director of the InterAmerican Training Center in Washington, D. C. For a number of years he served as editor of Hispania.
Francisco Aguilera, co-author of the set, is Assistant Director of the Hispanic Foundation of the Library of Congress. He formerly served as instructor in Spanish at Yale University and at one time was assistant chief
of the Division of Intellectual Cooperation of the Pan-American Union.
The entire instruction course has been recorded for RCA Victor by native Spanish-American speakers from Peru, Colombia, and Chile. Two men and one woman were used as narrators to ensure variety and to demonstrate the conversational use of the language.
