Customer Reviews

Well written, easty to follow, useful

I'm currently taking a class with Professor Cohen using this book and it's a very useful, informative book that doesn't waste your time with a lot of wordy junk like many such books. It's very straightforward, realizing most people in the position to study abroad are busy students that don't have all the time in the world to read extra things. This is useful for anyone that is serious about learning another language, but particularly in an immersion setting.
