4.0 out of 5 stars
good for english study,
By KADOWAKI Osamu (Sendai, Miyagi JAPAN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Signs and Symbols Around the World (Paperback)
For explaining the discussion about sign and symbols the writer use easier words and sentences. That is most important for us, foreigners. Signs snd symbols themselves are interesting. So we can continue reading. And the easy sentenced help us. Many high-school students who do not speak english may read this book without dictionary. I think this is useful for english reading text.
