How this book works

One of the crucial skills to acquire during your academic journey is the ability to navigate unfamiliar language interactions. If you've primarily taken structured language courses in school, you might not have encountered this skill, as such classes often emphasize incremental mastery of each language element. Immersive language learning, on the other hand, equips you with the tools necessary to communicate effectively in a native speaker environment, exposing you to elements of the language that you may not have encountered before. This approach mirrors how children naturally learn in school.
