This book is exactly what I needed. I love the conversational aspect of the book. I think this will help my own conversational abilities immensely. I love the characters. I love the plot of the book. I love the humor and I love the idioms that help me to see how people actually converse. Textbooks are wonderful but they don’t help with learning the conversational level of a language. This book has it all! I LOVE the dictionary of vocabulary in each chapter. It breaks down into digestible pieces and gives me what I need to be able to read each chapter. The exercises also test our comprehension and are so much fun also. Well done!
