A lively, practical way to develop and improve basic foreign language skills
This new, audio-based language series from Teach Yourself is an entertaining, nonintimidating way for beginners to build conversational proficiency. Each course covers 10 key situations—from greetings and buying food and drink to shopping, asking for directions, and visiting locals—and includes two conversations per topic. The explanations and instructions are simple and bite-size, making this a very accessible program.
Each audiopackage:
Builds confidence through a variety of listening exercises, from repetition of foreign language prompts to replying to English prompts
Covers structures, useful phrases, and strategies for holding two-way conversations
Lets learners assess their progress with specific objectives and review sections
Includes a 48-page guide with key words and conversations in written form for reference
Great Product - as are all teach yourself conversation kits Teach yourself conversation CD's are fantastic. This is the second set of them I have gotten, the first being for chinese, and both have worked very well for me at learning their respective languages. Excellent quality, I have tried a lot of stuff out and I find these tapes to be some of the most effective things for beginners.
