This practical course introduces the new language without inundating you and includes dialogues and exercises, a helpful pronunciation section, manageable lists of practical vocabulary, a glossary of grammar terms, and more.
Features:
Lots of instant help with common problems and quick tips for success, based on the author’s many years of experience Tests in the book to keep track of your progress
