by Zafar Khan (Author)

Do you want to speak English and understand it well enough to face interviews and interact successfully in real life situations? Welcome to 'Thirty One Steps to Fluent Spoken English'- a course designed to help you achieve those goals. As an ESL/EFL expert, I taught English in India, Nigeria and the United States of America. This rich and varied experience gave me insights into the problems of those learners for whom English is a Second or Foreign language; this book is the product of that experience. I hope you will benefit by reading the book, and listening to the audio CD, in order to become fluent and sound natural. Language learning requires time, patience and practice.
