The Man with English, or For Whom Big Ben Tolls

The author of the book, Marina Bessarabova, an English language teacher with extensive experience, shares her conclusions with readers based on many years of practical work with students. One of the main points of the publication is that it is... impossible to learn a language quickly, regardless of what various newly emerged courses and English schools may promise. To master the language at a conversational level, a lot of time and effort is required. Marina Bessarabova believes that confident conversation in English is impossible without knowledge of grammar and a decent vocabulary. Moreover, effective and quality training for all the above requires a teacher who is proficient in both English and the students' native language. Only a bilingual teacher can explain to students those rules of English that pose the greatest difficulty for them.
