About the © Linguistic Rescue Series books
All the English and Spanish language © Linguistic Rescue Series books can significantly reduce the training period of a foreign language course and improve the quality of learning of new words and normative grammar by a student. Their advantage is foreign words and (sometimes) transcription in brackets next to the word in a sentence. Using this technique, a student never studied English / Spanish before, having no vocabulary, can begin translating from Russian into English / Spanish, from Spanish into English or from English into Spanish. The technique allows you to learn new English / Spanish words and phrases easil, and quickly; improving the skills of correct translation into a foreign language.
All the © Linguistic Rescue Series books have been written for “my difficult students”, for those who needed to obtain a large amount of high-quality knowledge in a short period of time. The latter is the aim of all the textbooks of this series.
