Grosvenor House Publishing Ltd Engleza esențială în doar 7 capitole
Book SynopsisÎn această carte vei învăța limba engleză într-un mod revoluționar, simplu și eficient, având doar informațiile de care ai nevoie! Vei găsi răspunsul la toate întrebările tale care au legătură cu învățarea, înțelegerea și recapitularea limbii engleze. Pentru o învățare sau recapitulare cât mai eficientă, am conceput cele mai simple și inovative metode de reținere a regulilor de baza din limba engleză. Tot ce trebuie să faci este să-ți acorzi timp, astfel încât să poți dobândi cât mai rapid cele mai utile informații din limba engleză. Acest curs conține 7 capitole esențiale, care la rândul lor, conțin definiții și explicații pe înțelesul fiecăruia, fără termeni gramaticali complicați, sau reguli imposibil de memorat. Cursul se bazează pe gândirea unui adult, care are nevoie de o eficiență sporită în învățarea unei limbi străine. Fiecare dintre cele 7 capitole conține la finalul acestora câte un set de exerciții interactive, care te vor ajuta să pui în aplicare cele învățate și înțelese pe parcursul acestor lecții. Ceea ce îți propun în acest curs nu sunt aceleași informații pe care le-ai putea găsi în oricare alt curs mai atractiv la o primă vedere. Dimpotrivă! Mi-am propus să realizez acest curs după propria experiență de viață departe de casă, într-o țară străină, a cărui limbă nu mi-o mai aduceam aminte de la orele de engleză de la școală. Așa că, aici poți găsi exact explicațiile pe care ți le dorești să le auzi, astfel încât să poți și tu căpăta fluența și încrederea necesară în limba engleză. Însă pentru a putea căpăta fluența necesară în limba engleză, cel mai important și valoros exercițiu este repetarea continuă. Ceea ce și eu am experimentat pe propria piele și a funcționat extrem de bine. Și cum poți face acest lucru dacă nu prin citit. Cititul este singurul exercițiu care îți va fi de ajutor în învățarea corectă a limbii engleze. Așa că, te invit să pui mâna pe acest curs esențial și să începi prin a citi cu voce tare tot ceea ce este iscălit aici, perfecționându-ți astfel cunoștințele de limba engelză.
