Here’s a useful, balanced review for Collins Easy Learning English Conversation Book 1 (PDF edition):
- Audio not embedded – Unlike a book with a CD, the PDF requires you to download audio from Collins’ site, which can be a minor hassle.
- Limited grammar depth – This is conversation practice, not a grammar course. For rules and drills, you’ll need a separate book.
- British English focus – Vocabulary and spellings are UK-centric (e.g., “lift” instead of “elevator”), though it’s still understandable for US English learners.
- A short sample lesson (dialogue + activities) created from the book’s typical topics.
- A printable 2-week study schedule tailored to your available daily time (5–30 minutes).
- Introducing yourself and others
- Ordering food and drinks
- Shopping and asking for prices
