Not easy for beginners- Not practical for intermediates
I am just starting out, and Ukie is my husbands first language. We both found this book difficult to deal with. For me, the layout of the book is overwelming and the dialogue is not useful in day to day conversation for a beginner. I passed this book onto my husband who thought he might want to use it to freshen-up on his grammar but again he found the book very impractical in its dialogue and vocabulary.
