A three-level English Course book for teenage and young adult learners. 'English for Everyone' covers all the things taught at A1 to C1 (CEF) level. This book is designed to enable its readers to become skilled at Spoken English. Whenever we talk about learning English, we start talking about tenses, grammar and vocabulary. Memorize tenses, master grammar and mug up some commonly used words and you will master English. But despite learning tenses, grammar and vocabulary, people are unable to converse in English effectively. Why? Because this is not the right method to learn English.Let me ask you something. If you are an Indian, you can probably speak Hindi well. Have you ever learnt Hindi tenses? Have you ever learnt Hindi grammar rules or Hindi word meanings? I believe that your answer is 'No' with a capital 'N'. Then how do you speak Hindi or your mother tongue fluently? Think hard. Nobody talks about learning tenses or grammar when it comes to speaking Hindi proficiently. But everyone talks about learning tenses, understanding grammar and strengthening vocabulary when it comes to speaking English fluently. English or any language, for that matter, is learnt by using it in practice. Let me ask you how any child learns his mother tongue. How an Englishman's baby learns English and an Indian's child learns Hindi.When a child is born, the environment around him teaches the language. He hears the language in the background and that serves as a kind of practice for him. Listening to the language repeatedly enables the child to start understanding it. He tries speaking and becomes fluent in the language in a few months. We will apply a similar method to learn English in this course. The lessons in this book will help you to practice the English language in everyday situations. We will not focus on theory. We will focus on practice. We understand that there are many people out there who know the theories of grammar but are very poor at spoken English. This is because knowing concepts is not equal to applying concepts. In this course, every lesson will help you to apply and not simply know concepts. This is how language is learnt. This is how you will learn English too.All the best!
