By Mei Lin

These are workbooks for speaking. Each one is built around conversations you will actually have: introducing yourself, asking a follow-up question, being polite, saying no kindly, talking about your day, making a phone call or explaining how you feel.

The pages give you the lines, then make you use them: swap the details, answer the question, keep the exchange going. They work best out loud. Read the dialogues aloud, play both parts, and record yourself once a week to hear how far you've come. When you want someone to answer back, practise the same conversations with me in a live lesson.
