A Self-Tuition Course Which Makes Learning the Language Really Easy and Enjoyable.
This cheerful book, full of gentle humour, is that rare item, a genuine beginner's course which starts at the beginning and appeals to readers of all ages. 'English For Beginners' presents a vocabulary of approximately 1,000 headwords, mostly very useful, but occasionally proudly, magnificently useless unless the reader associates with gnomes, iguanas and pterodactyls.
Meet Professor English and his friends Kit the cat and Max the mouse. Meet Barbara the taxi driver, her boyfriend Tim and her passenger Mr Duncan. Meet the rest of the Williams family, plus Tarzan, Shakespeare, Lord Sandwich and a crowd of other characters brought to life by artist Timm Joy.
The illustrations play an important supporting role in this home-study course, helping to lead the learner through key elements of grammar, construction and usage.
