Customer Reviews

Very helpful for learning English

This book is aimed at the intermediate student of the English language. I had already used this book (borrowed from my library) of helping my students learn English. I decided it was worth buying. It has lots of helpful ideas for learning how to learn a foreign language (in this case, English). It also covers many idioms as well as linking words that are formed similarly for ease in learning.

A Must Have for any ESL Teacher

This vocabulary guide is excellent. The format is very easy to use and very accessible. I am an ESL teacher and am always looking for more vocabulary for my students and exercises to go with that new vocabulary and this book covers both. If you like the English Grammar in Use books, you'll love this one. The only thing I would change is that I would probably get the intermediate level instead. Although my students are advanced, this level is a little bit challenging for them.

Highly Recommended

I have been teaching ESL to Spanish speakers and Hebrew speakers for the past 3 years. My students love this book. The vocabulary points are clear and detailed. The exercises are directly relevant to all of the explanation. It is great for teachers in the classroom and for students who want to study on their own.

If you are serious about your English vocabulary buy it!

The book will help ESL students extend their vocabulary. The format is very efficient - even pages contain the material, odd pages contain the exercises. The book has 100 units and every unit explains a unique phenomenon of the English language. The Index encounters about three and a half thousand English words which for me is quite a lot. You will find six units on idioms, a unit on slang and much more. The book is for upper-intermediate and advanced students. If you are just a beginner, look for books with the same title for beginners or intermediate students.

Exceptional, only by reading you'll believe it

Is an uncommon book that gives you an advanced introduction to most common vocabulary used among the students in North America, giving very good results for those who are learning the english as a second language to access college and studies purposes, enhancing the speech and personal vocabulary.
