This document is an introduction to an English language textbook for elementary level learners. It explains that the book is intended as a practical reference for basic English learners. The second edition has improved content and exercises from the first edition. While primarily for beginners, more advanced learners can also use it to practice common English expressions. It is hoped that the book will be useful. The first lesson provides exercises on greetings and asking how someone is, as well as vocabulary related to days, dates and times.
