I love this book as it teaches in a way young and old can understand. It's concise and well put together. The online videos are a real plus and learnt most from the book online. That's when I decided to purchase the book. Else you cannot gauge how well you are doing. The writing practices are my weak point so I love to do more and more of that. The writing helps with reading and the reading helps the pronunciation. I would recommend using a soft pencil to be able to erase your writing for when you make an error or simply to do the exercises again. There are other books available from the same author and I would like to go into those once I have completed these.
