ABSTRACT
Welcome to the world of language learning! This book is intended for people studying a new language. It is aimed at learners in adult, further and higher education, but is also relevant to anyone learning a language in any situation. Whether you are completely new to language learning or have been learning for a while, you will obviously want to make a success of it. You may be following a course leading to a qualification, or learning entirely on your own with the help of audio-visual materials. Alternatively, you may be living abroad and looking for ways to get the most out of your environment in order to help you learn the language. Whatever your reason for learning and your chosen method, this book should help you to achieve your goals. Learning a new language as an adult is an exciting prospect which opens windows on other cultures, their people and how they live and think, the history of these countries, their literature, music and heritage. This book aims to keep alive that sense of excitement while giving you practical help and guidance in all aspects of language learning.
