Word differences

This is the only book from Longman I would have ever considered buying. I love it and I have recommended it to all of my students and most have purchased it and they also find it useful. This useful little book shows you the differences between words. For example. hotel, motel, inn, etc. Only buy the English version of this book. There is a Chinese version available but the translations are terrible.

Thematic dictionary

A thematic dictionary is an excellent way to learn a language. I advise you to buy two : one you'll put on the loos and one in your bathroom. Just read them in your spare time. In six months you'll have astonishingly improved your vocabulary. Jacques De Schryver (french journalist).
