Ok if your English is pretty good

This is the only item you should buy if you feel confident about taking the CBT TOEFL test, that is your English is already pretty good. The GUI is the same as test day so at least there is no suprise. I could not get the program to work under WIN98 SE, the sound would not come on. However, and very surprisingly, it works fine under XP!
In sum, try to buy it used because it is not worth paying the full price.

could have organized the themes a little better but useful if you plan to live in PR. Now you just have to understand the accent.

Good ideas IF you can figure out what the author is trying to say. It would help if he were writing in everyday English.

Once you get used to it being written in broken English, you really get pulled in. And the broken English makes it that much more real!

FYI - written by an Englishman so some terminology and spellings are UK. Also, this is more for a basic, light-reading high-schoolish audience.

It's OK. Just phrases, but if you don't know more than that you can't understand what the answer to your questions would be.

This has some useful information that includes lots of grammatical errors.  If you can overlook that, you will probably find some things that you can put to good use. It's ok.

It's good if you want to travel with it. I didn't use it all that much as my Japanese cell phone had a Japanese-English dictionary.

Looks great but (though this is part my fault) you guys need to work on that english. A couple grammatical errors in that sentence.

I knew going from English to Korean was going to be harder than any of the european languages I've tried from Pimsleur; but I wasn't ready for the rapid native speakers. Korean sentences aren't structured at all like English. And,the Korean native speakers they use speak so fast that you often cannot tell 'm's from 'n's, etc., and the words all mix into each other so you can't tell which is which, then when the ends of the words change with context, you're really going to feel lost. Still, it worked, in a manner of well, speaking. I learned enough to understand and communicate. Remember though, if you don't use the language, you will forget it. After you complete the course, every month, do at least one lesson in each language you learn; it's easiest to just take them in your car and speak as you drive. BTW; my original reason for learning Korean was to understand the Korean entertainment available on the net. There's plenty of great movies, tv shows, and terrific music. Just remember, the lyrics are even harder to understand than regular speech, so understanding songs will be even harder than tv shows.

This gives you some tips that you might otherwise not already know.  For the most part it is written in everyday language and not a lot of technical words that one wouldn't know.

In my view, this book can be very useful for these non-native English speakers who need to make their English more conversational and more American. Perhaps it is good to be complemented by listening experience - in the impossibility of a real conversational partner You tube, films, audio conversations may suffice.

If you don't like this story, you probably don't read English very well.  If you have a good imagination and a sense of romance, all I can say is ENJOY!

It's OK, they speak a lot of English in Japan, so not really a totally necessary book! It's fine to try it out though!

Not much here. As you can see, many of the reviews here seem "choppy" and don't have that "flow" of English. Don't waste your time on this.

I found what I personally thought syntax typos. It made some sentences clunky. Otherwise a nice break from regular life.

I was past this learning stage many years ago and bought it just to refresh myself.
 Dialogs were good but translations were often a little off. Sometimes just wrong. Can not translate waiter to waitress. There is a difference.
 Accent marks in the Russian dialog were occasionally wrong. This can make a big difference in what is being said.
