Summary

This disk and book enable students to learn the basics on their own. These new teaching tools put students to work, but let them proceed at their own pace. And let them run - or stroll - through a series of exercises on screen. They can take these exercises whenever and as often as they wish. Each round of exercises is a learning experience. Students learn the Dos and Don'ts, Cans and Can'ts, Musts and Mustn'ts. They learn them and learn how to apply them with a relaxed approach.
