Review: English For The Eager Learners by Ira P. Boone

English for the Eager Learners by Ira P. Boone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

English for the Eager Learners is a comprehensive, well written, and very nicely illustrated guide to mastering one of the most confounding languages on the planet. Water can run. So can people. So can people's noses. Then what about stockings? They can "get a run" in them. Tears happen why cry, but tears happen when an article of clothing is ripped in many places. But then there's tares, which sounds like tears but tares are the weights of vehicles without cargo. Then their are tiers which sound like tears but describe different levels of a structure or even plans.

Confused? I nearly frustrated myself trying to type all that. Imagine what it is like for someone trying to learn English as a second language.

Ira P. Boone lays it all out in 25 lessons that are broad is content with out ever becoming discursive.

The illustrations are amusing yet always help with the subject. Each chapter comes with practice exercises to help reinforce what was learned.

This book would come in handy to school teachers, home educators, and would also be helpful to anyone looking to improve their English skills.
