Excellent Language Tools: New, Improved and Now Available!

October 7, 2005

The following publications which were some of our most popular and effective English as a Second Language (ESL) tools have recently been revised and are now in stock:

If you’ve ever found that carrying on conversations or participating in meetings presented a challenge to you, you need to read Gambits 1, 2 and 3. These books will provide you with all of the language and practice skills you will ever need to carry on conversations anywhere, anytime, from beginning to end – with confidence!

Created for second language learners who already have a base in English, the revised Telephone Gambits is perfect for learning how to conduct all types of telephone calls.

The newly revised Rhythm and Unstress presents rhythm, stress and unstress patterns which show you how to listen to a new language and teaches you how to successfully produce the new sounds and intonation of a new language.

Idioms introduces you to common and useful idiomatic expressions and proverbs, all in appropriate situations.
