در راستای دوست شدن با زبان انگلیسی و کنار گذاشتن خصومت شخصی نسبتا بی‌اساسی که باهاش داشتم، بالاخره شروع کردم به زبان خوندن!
مدام به خودم یادآوری می‌کنم که هیچ‌وقت برای هیچ‌چیز دیر نیست و اشکال نداره که این همه وقت نسبت به انجامش مقاومت کردی. از این به بعد رو حسابی بچسب.
این جلد خیلی خیلی مبتدیه و از پایه‌ای‌ترین سطح شروع میشه.
برام مهم بود تداوم داشته باشم و حتی از پیش پا افتاده‌ترین نکات هم نگذرم.
به‌نظرم برای خودخوان کتاب خیلی خوبی محسوب میشه و از فردا میرم سراغ جلد بعدی =))))

This is a basic grammar text, which I picked up largely as a review of fundamentals. It turned out to be a bit below the level of grammar I could most benefit from, but I still found it an interesting text. As someone who lives in a community bordering Mexico where many people learn American English as a second language, I think this would be an excellent text for teaching fundamental American English. Knowing very little Spanish, perhaps I should look for the analogous text for an English-speaking person to self-study Mexican Spanish.

Each brief lesson is accompanied by a page of exercises, with the lesson page facing the exercise page and answers for the exercises given in a section at the back. The book also has additional exercises with answers and a brief overview of some irregular verbs. With some basic vocabulary, studying this book can give the beginning American English learner enough information and practice to communicate effectively in American English.

An excellent book for both teachers, students and in my case: a student who’s becoming a teacher. It explains grammar with such short explanation yet it’s so helpful. Then you have many exercises to practice from. I like it and will definitely keep recommending it and going back to it when I (finally) become a teacher insha’allah.
