Learn English: A Beginner's Guide for ESL Learners

Not exactly what I was looking for but still can use it

no pronunciation supplied

Book is 108 pages. Simple and easy to understand. Starts with alphabet pronunciation, numbers and greetings. Each of the following section are explained: specific topic, yourself, asking and answering questions, colors, countries, continents or cities, weather, travel, telling time, food and drink, animals, body parts, describing people, routines, transportation, hobbies, personality types, sports, jobs and home. Part 2 explains very basic grammar rules, verbs, pronouns, subject, prepositions, tense, and sentence structure. Section 3 covers the top ten tips for fluency in English. I found this book very helpful and easy to understand. It is written in English so you already have to know English or have a tutor who knows it.

At first glance this looks like a handy volume for non-native speakers of English but it would be best for those who already have some command of the language. Teachers of ESL might use these exercises and lessons as models. My biggest disappointment occurred when I looked at the chart of numbers provided on page 7-8. the last row of the chart is cut off, and printed in isolation on the following page. To a non-native speaker, this would be very confusing and it is also very bad practice. It says to me that someone either did not take the time or did not know how to format a chart to fit the printed page. Overall a very amateurish presentation of material.

It's a very good book for someone wanting to learn English. I like the examples that was given with each sections.

Book was delivered very promptly but it is absolutely useless to beginner students as a self study guide to English. There are no pictures and far to much text. Go figure!!!

Ok for beginners

Very good book, helping someone learn English

A very useful book. Many thanks.

I would not recommend this book. I bought it to use with a false beginners' group. It's badly designed. The grammar is not introduced. There are loads of typos and mistakes.
