100 Common Questions and Answers Used by Native English Speakers at Home + Audio
Introduction
The English teach-yourself guide “Basic English in Dialogues: 100 Common Questions and Answers Used by Native English Speakers at Home” contains 100 mini-dialogues based on everyday topics: “Getting Up in the Morning”, “Using the Bathroom”, “Morning Exercises”, “Clothes”, “Breakfast”, “Cooking Dinner”, “Setting the Table”, “Plans for the Afternoon”, and “In the Evening”.
This is a conversational English tutorial for beginners learning English as a second language (ESL) / English as a foreign language (EFL). The dialogues are numbered from 1 to 100. A list containing the new words along with their transcription follows each dialogue. If the meaning of any of the words is unclear, use an online dictionary to translate them into your language. To reinforce learning, revision tasks are offered after each topic.
Teachers can use the handbook to create game situations and make teaching English as a second language more interesting.
Audio recordings of all the dialogues are available at
