As the first reviewer has already said, there is quite a lot of American English, which requires explaining to an English language learner, although the discounted price of the book makes it cheap enough to buy two for one to one teaching.

I also bought, in the same series 'Basic English', although this bills itself as an English grammar book, a lot of the space is taken up with vocabulary, so really just one the volume would cover both, in my opinion. This book is also in American English!

This book has been quite good for work (EFL teacher) but I should have done my research a bit better. There's quite a bit of American English vocabulary which is fine for more advanced students but tends to confuse beginners. It's still pretty useful though.

excellant practice tool 8 Nov 2007
By James Kellum - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you are an English Second Language student from a Latin country, you need this. No matter your learning rate, this will greatly improve your vocabulary. It won't help your accent, but there are great choices on CDs for that purpose. This is a way to build your word store fairly painlessly.
Highly reccomended

Not useful 18 Oct 2011
By Ben - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This does not appear to me to be a beginning text at all. Intermediate maybe, but certaintly not beginning. I compared this to Spanish Vocabulary by Dorthy Richmond and found it to be seriously lacking, at least for a beginner.

Excellet value for the money 14 May 2011
By Juan A. Zuleta - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A relatively low cost item for those of us who live abroad. My wife is an English teacher and finding good books in Argentina is costly. This was a great addition to her library.
