English conversation / Jean Yates, PhD.

Yates, Jean, Ph.D., (author.). McGraw-Hill Companies. (Added Author).

Summary:

"Practice Makes Perfect: English Conversation gives helpful instruction on correct pronunciation, grammar, syntax, and word usage, keeping in mind the typical problems of non-native English speakers. Each section includes a series of exercises that gives extra practice in using new concepts and encourages constructing personalized conversations. Based on the successful approach of the Practice Makes Perfect series, English Conversation, Premium Fourth Edition is organized around 12 units that present specific conversational functions and common, everyday scenarios--from introducing yourself and starting a conversation to making an appointment and arguing a point. The exclusive Language Lab app features streaming audio recordings of the dialogs in the book, helping you perfect your pronunciation, and every unit provides the opportunity not simply to converse, but to build and support correct grammar, syntax and word usage." -- Provided by publisher.
