Nichts sagt mehr über eine Person aus, als die Beherrschung der Sprache - jeder, der Erfolg haben will, ob beruflich oder sozial, mu seine Muttersprache richtig sprechen. Dies zu lernen, kann schwierig sein - eine Hilfe beim Erlernen des Englischen gibt dieses Buch, dessen Autorin die Meinung vertritt, das Verständnis der Grammatik einer Sprache und nicht die Kenntnis unzähliger Regeln sei der Schlüssel zum richtigen Sprechen. (01/99)
