  • "This book is easy to refer to and very good for learning the raw forms of the verbs and the pictures are a great help for triggering the memory. The way the story comes together is quite amazing and students found the colour coded verb tables extremely useful, allowing the eye to go straight to the tense they are working on. Students have found the speaking pronunciation on your website very useful and I would say that when it is used correctly this book is idiot proof."
