Great book. I use this all the time. My students love it and it supports what I teach in class. ( )

Because I teach French adults in English classes (English as a Second Language, adult learners), it was important for me to have the 'right' tool to help them gain confidence after many decades of not doing any English (most haven't done any since High School). This is why this book was very good - the language is clear, simple, and the numerous grammar exercises are very good (they are building up strong grammatical reflexes). The evolution is gradual and most people have been able to go up in the levels/exercises, without too many difficulties. All in all, this book is excellent for adult learning, because it doesn't dwell on the theory, but gets you to understand through practice. This is ideal for adult learners, because they do not learn the same way school students do, this is why I will keep using it for the time being. ( )
