Updated with additional commonly-used phrases and new questions and answers for practice and review, the new edition of this informal language-learning program is designed to teach Hispanics in the United States and Canada a practical working knowledge of English. Author William Harvey bypasses the dull rules of grammar, instead familiarizing readers with often-used phrases and including a series of informal conversations among speakers in idiomatic American English. Also included are tables that present commonly-used English verbs and verb tenses. Emphasis on correct pronunciation includes helpful tips and advice on pronunciation and listening comprehension. A set of three audio CDs are enclosed with the book. Replacing the previous edition's audio cassettes, they use spoken dialogues and coaching to emphasize correct pronunciation of informal American English.
