This stimulating verb book, hitherto a contradiction in terms, goes a long way to dispelling the fear of putting essential grammar at the heart of language learning at the early and intermediate stages.

Particularly at the higher level of GCSE speaking and writing, where many students find themselves at a loss for a sufficient range of verbs to express what they were/ have been/ are and will be doing, Learn 101 verbs in 1 day enhances their conviction to express themselves richly, with subtlety and accuracy.

More exciting still is the rapid progress with which new (Year 8) learners both assimilate the core vocabulary and seek to speak and write about someone other than 'I'.

The website is outstanding in its accessibility, simplicity and advice. The range of 101 free games and activities is a source of inspiration, and the opportunity for students to listen to the recurrent patterns of all 101 verbs from someone else's voice other than mine is a significant advantage.

I anticipate a more confident, productive and ambitious generation of linguists will benefit from your highly effective product.

Yours sincerely

Andy Smith,
Head of Spanish,
Salesian College.
