Practical English for Adults
The three-book set
All three full-color PDF e-books.
From keeping the conversation going, to explaining clearly, to moving towards action. Each book stands alone; the set is simply all three, downloaded as three PDFs.
What each book is for
Compare by where you most often get stuck.
| Book | Where you get stuck | What you practice | Current file |
|---|---|---|---|
| Book 1What Can I Say Next? | The conversation stalls when you didn't catch something, didn't understand, can't express something in the moment, or need to ask for help. | Spot gaps in communication and repair them: point out the exact part you didn't catch, didn't understand or can't say, get the information you need, then check it. | v1.0 · 164 pages · 5.8 MB |
| Book 2Make Your Meaning Clear | You can say single sentences, but when asked "Where do things stand?", "Why?" or "What's still left to do?", you can't find the right order for the information. | Organize a connected explanation and respond to follow-up questions: make the main point clear, link facts to reasons, and distinguish what is known from what is guessed, and what is done from what is not. | v1.0 · 166 pages · 5.1 MB |
| Book 3Move the Conversation Forward | Even after things have been explained clearly, a conversation can still stall on a disagreement, limited resources or a vague answer. | Negotiate and reach an outcome you can act on: understand the disagreement, propose alternatives, and confirm who is responsible, when it will be done, under what conditions, and what is still undecided. | v1.0 · 166 pages · 5.1 MB |
