Book overview

Everything you need to master first-year English language essentials--clear explanations, tons of practice exercises, and NEW audio to improve your speaking and listening skills

The most effective way to learn any new language is to practice, practice, and practice some more--and no other workbooks put as much emphasis on this as the Practice Makes Perfect series. In Practice Makes Perfect: Basic English, you'll find all the practice you need, presented in easily managed short units (each taking about 20 minutes to complete), along with clear explanations of grammar and a solid grounding in basic vocabulary.

Supported by the McGraw Hill Language Lab app, this workbook also offers comprehensive digital support for speaking and listening to conversational English. Extensive audio recordings provide the answer key for select exercises, and will help you build your confidence in speaking and listening to the language. With the instruction, explanations, and extensive practice in this book, you'll gain all the knowledge a first-year student needs to know.
