This manual was created specifically for those who believe that it is too late to start learning a foreign language. The book contains two blocks - self-taught and phrasebook. There are 11 lessons in the self-teacher, in each of which you will find grammatical topics with a detailed explanation and interesting examples. Vocabulary is studied on the material of live dialogues and thematic tables. Each topic is anchored by different exercises. The phrasebook consists of 8 topics, each of which reflects the most basic problems that arise when communicating on a trip. You will learn how to order food in a restaurant, ask for directions or explain yourself in an extreme situation. And all this - in large print and in an accessible presentation!
