learning English through pictures

From the Publisher: English Made Easy is a breakthrough in English language learning imaginatively exploiting how pictures and text can work together to create understanding. It gives learners easy access to the vocabulary, grammar and functions of English as it is actually used. Consisting of 20 lessons, English Made Easy clearly outlines the new language in a list of words and phrases, together with a pronunciation guide. At the end of each unit, a story integrating the lesson is presented, along with revision exercises to reinforce the tutorial
