Synopsis: This book will be of special value to secondary school students growing up in families where English is not the first language. Like other titles in Barrons Painless series, the approach to learning is informal and user-friendly. The authors take students step by step through all parts of speech-nouns, pronouns, verbs, modifiers, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Next they offer advice for improving vocabulary, spelling, emphasizing the importance of active listening, and learning vowel sounds and R sounds, and recognising silent letters and homophones. The books final three chapters concentrate on written English, advancing from correct punctuation and sentence structure to writing essays and stories. The books gradual, step-by-step approach makes the mastery of English a truly painless process for students whose first language is other than English.
