3.0 out of 5 stars ESL Beginner, February 22, 2001

This review is from: ESL Beginner (English as a Second Language Series) (Paperback)

ESL Beginner is a good book, however, beginner is misleading. Students would need to be at least at an intermediate level to use the book. For example, the first chapter discusses different types of nouns, such as count, noncount, proper, and common. Good activities, helpful pictures.
