As a native Hebrew speaker, I know very well the difficulties of learning English as a second language, and this book nails it. The only way to learn a language is to use it, and the best way to use it is through immersion in the daily natural conversation.A language is also a culture; humor, history, literature - you can not get it from a tape. You need the stories, the expressions...As a young man, I learned English best through traveling, and when I didn't have English speakers around, through reading and corresponding. Not as good as natural conversation, but much better than artificial studies. I later in my life had a chance to study another language, very intensely, but with little natural conversation - it didn't work nearly as well. My experience is that this book describes the best way to learn a new language.
