Im now looking at the PMP books to buy, but Im not sure which ones to use.
I have an Asset Language qualification in Spanish, and a reasonable level of Grammar. Is there any need for me to buy "Pronouns and Prepositions" as I would assume thats quite basic stuff? Also, is there a site for them I can go to? Im trying to find some for German, but there is only "Verb Tenses" and "Vocabulary" on Amazon. Thanks to everybody so far :) TEL 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

What exactly is an "Asset Language qualification"? From what I found on Google it seems you can test different things (listening, reading, speaking, writing) at different times and different levels. That means it is necessary to know what skill you passed at what level before recommending books. I do not think that "pronouns and prepositions" are basic stuff in any language, but I do not think that just doing grammar exercises is the best way to make progress in a language you already know a little. Assimil (2 levels) or parallel reading (with audio) would be much better. Just search this forum, there are lots of links provided. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ahhh sorry, I didnt make that clear at all. I did write GCSE, but then thought, well, I don't actually have a GCSE in it. Silly me. Asset Language Intermediate is basically equivalent to just a little above a GCSE, or in the EU thingy, B1 level.

Much better. Buongiorno Italia and the follow-up course L'italia Dal Vivo were especially good courses. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Agree. However, Anna Mazzotti is very appealing. I'm obvously not the only one who thinks so...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL_K1i-36UU These are taken from the Italianissimmo TV series, so you can get a taste of what it's like, but I think the guy who made the video had his mind on something else. One problem with the BBC courses is that you cannot buy the video to use with the course. You have to get it when it's on TV, or not at all. 1 person has voted this message useful |
