The Man with English, or For Whom the Big Ben Tolls

The author of the book, Marina Bessarabova, an English language teacher with extensive experience, shares with readers conclusions based on many years of practical work with students. One of the main ideas of the publication is that it is impossible... to learn a language quickly, no matter what various new courses and English schools promise. Mastering the language at a conversational level will require a lot of time and effort. Marina Bessarabova is convinced that confident conversation in English is impossible without knowledge of grammar and a decent vocabulary. Also, effective and high-quality training in all of 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 the English language that pose the greatest difficulty for them.
