A new worldwide book/ebook that explores the struggles of learning English is "What Foreigners Need To Know About America From A To Z: How to understand crazy American culture, people, government, business, language and more.” It paints a revealing picture of America for those foreigners who will benefit from a better understanding. Endorsed by ambassadors, educators, and editors, it even has chapters on English grammar and speech that identify problems common to immigrants (and Americans!) and how they can polish their communication skills. Why is English such a monster to learn? Here's an excerpt from the book: "As you may know, English grammar rules are full of generalities and the generalities are full of exceptions. Even the exceptions have exceptions. This is why English is one of the most difficult languages to master. In fact, a recent European study discovered that most children master the basic elements of their languages within a year or less of starting primary school. However, English speaking children require two to three years of learning to reach the same level. Why? Linguists believe it’s the complex syllable structure (a single-sound unit in our words) and the inconsistent spellings, both of which we address in this and the next chapter." The book is loaded with simple tips to help foreigners polish their speech. www.AmericaAtoZ.com.
