Improve Your English: English in Everyday Life

Build your English-speaking skills by simply watching and listening

People do not talk like language-learning books are written. They pause, say “um” and “er,” and even forget to finish their sentences! This can be confusing for new speakers of English, but Improve Your English: English in Everyday Life helps you understand what your friends and neighbors are saying and gives you confidence to talk with them naturally and easily.

The DVD shows speakers of English talking about their families, their homes, what they do for fun, and other everyday topics. These chats are unscripted and unrehearsed, so you’ll hear how people in your community really talk.

You will gain confidence in your English skills with help from:

• A workbook that features a transcript of the DVD, definitions of unfamiliar vocabulary and phrases, and skill-building questions at the end of each chapter to help you remember what you have learned
• English speakers from different regions who will expose you to accents and language specific to their areas
