Synopsis

Practical English for foreigners, with a plan that speeds real‑world use.

This book is designed to help learners build a working English vocabulary quickly, using common phrases and everyday situations for private and business life. It emphasizes speaking, listening, and reading through active use rather than grammar rules alone.

The material reflects classroom realities in evening schools and focuses on phrases, idioms, and conversation‑ready language. It combines phonics, word groups with opposite meanings, and sight reading to boost accuracy and confidence. The book also uses pictures and concrete word lists to support self‑effort and practical dialogue.
  • Practical vocabulary and everyday phrases for quick speaking and understanding
  • Phonic drills and word groups to improve pronunciation and memory
  • Conversations and maxims to stimulate real conversation in class and beyond
  • Reading and writing practice that reinforces how language is used in real life
Ideal for adult learners beginning English, especially those studying in evening classes or self‑paced programs who want to start speaking with confidence and clarity.
