LEARN 101 CATALAN VERBS IN 1 DAY

"After a number of years in which educational trends favoured oral fluency over grammatical accuracy, it is encouraging to see a book which goes back to the basics and makes learning verbs less daunting and even easy.At the end of the day, verb patterns are fundamental in order to gain linguistic precision and sophistication, and thus should not be regarded as a chore but as necessary elements to achieve competence in any given language. The colour coding in this book makes for quick identifcation of tenses, and the running stories provided by the pictures are an ideal mnemonic device in that they help students visualize each word. I would heartily recommend this fun verb book for use with pupils in the early stages of language learning and for revision later on in their school careers. It can be used for teaching but also, perhaps more importantly, as a tool for independent study. The website stresses this fact as students can comfortably check the pronunciation guide from their own homes. This is a praiseworthy attempt to make verbs more easily accessible to every schooiboy and girl in the country".
