This book is good for basic words but lacks background information that would be helpful. Still, a greater starter book!

Correct Your English Errors: How to Avoid 99% of the Common Mistakes Made by Learners of English Review

Correct Your English Errors: How to Avoid 99% of the Common Mistakes Made by Learners of English
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a fantastic resource for English learners. The author has admirably condensed decades of his experience with teaching English (and teaching teachers of English) into an easy-to-use guide that explains the commonest errors, why they're wrong, and how to correct them. What really shines through on every page is Dr. Collins' empathy for and patience with speakers of other languages: his explanations are straightforward and uncluttered: he just wants the reader to understand what the problem is and how to correct it. I recommend this book to any learner of English who wants to "go native," speaking and writing as if English were your first language.

400 Must-Have Words for the TOEFL Review

400 Must-Have Words for the TOEFL
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book does offer a nice variety of academic vocabulary. The fact that it is not only organized by academic discipline, but also by theme is a real bonus since iBT TOEFL draws topics from various disciplines. It also provides grammar and usage in the context of a text. This allows the learner to experience the "target words" in context. It's well done.

Stories from Mexico = Historias de Mexico Review

Stories from Mexico = Historias de Mexico
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Because the stories are ancient stories that reflect themes still used in modern Latin America the reading is interesting for older readers while still being easy enough for beginners and intermediates. Reading is much more pleasurable when, in difficult sections, one doesn't have to go searching through a separate dictionary. Translations are not literal and therefore instructive in phraseology. I found this to be a refreshing alternative. I can suggest a new magazine out called Mi Gente which also does English and Spanish side by side on current Latin American issues.

Dive into the tales of Mexico--in Spanish and in English!

In Stories from Mexico/Historias de Mexico, we've placed the Spanish and English stories side by side--lado a lado--so you can practice and improve your reading skills in your new language while enjoying the support of your native language. This way, you'll avoid the inconvenience of constantly having to look up unfamiliar words and expressions in a dictionary. Read as much as you can understand, and then look to the facing page for help. As you read, you can check your comprehension by comparing the two versions of the story. You'll also find a bilingual vocabulary list at the end of the book, so you'll have a handy reference for new words.

Stories from Mexico/Historias de Mexico allows you to explore Mexico's rich history. It included 18 well-known Mexican legends that chronicle almost 1,500 years of Mexican history. These tales will introduce you to an array of characters as dynamic and colorful as the country that gave birth to them. Animals, gods, goddesses, warriors, and conquistadors are among those who will make these pages come alive for you! As you read these stories side by side, you will be not only fine-tuning your language skills but also gaining insight into the rich cultural heritage of the Mexican people.
