This workbook was designed to help you do just that. This workbook will help you to proficiently learn and effectively master the strategies and methods needed to provide you with a solid foundation in English.

The second section of Practice Makes Perfect: Basic English provides you with a variety of review exercises specially designed to allow you to measure your comprehension and retention of the concepts covered in the lessons of this workbook.

This Premium Third Edition is enhanced by 50 pronunciation exercises, available as streaming audio through the McGraw-Hill Education Language Lab app. These exercises provide extensive practice of the sounds that learners of English find particularly difficult—simply listen and repeat. The text of the thirty example sentences for each exercise is provided in the appendix of this book, as well as within the app. Learning a new language is an interesting and exciting journey that is enhanced when the learning material is presented in a stimulating and enjoyable manner that encourages a learner to keep moving forward.
