Teachers of English are always looking for new material that will spark the interest of their students. This book looks like it has many interesting topics. I'm glad it is error free! Thanks for this recommendation.

I have been trying to learn how to speak Spanish and struggling. From what I understand, learning to speak English is even harder. I'm glad that this book helps with that endeavor. Thanks for your wonderful review!

Would someone who comes to America as an immigrant and somewhat lacks in the English language (hence the need to understand the importance of it) be able to comprehend it though?... Or have I misunderstood and this book is actually intended to those who are in the position to promote offering and teaching the language to those who would benefit from it?

A very nicely and professionally written review! :)

This sounds like a nice book to help people learn English language. Nice review.
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

You are correct, this book will help people learn English language especially immigrants who wants to settle in the United State.

Sounds like a great book. We all need something to help us know what's really English in this day and age.

Great Review.

This book absolutely teaches the basics of English. For immigrants to succeed in America, they must be able to write and speak English. This is a basic form of integration.
