Inglés para todo hispano hablante. Libro de texto y ejercicios en nivel básico y medio bajo que explica paso a paso en español, las estructuras gramaticales y la pronunciación del idioma inglés. En el libro se explican con esmero y detalle desde el elemento mas básico de la gramática del inglés hasta la construcción de oraciones complejas. El método se caracteriza por la forma innovadora de enseñar idiomas que consiste en tres etapas. Primero, se explica en castellano cada elemento de una oración, luego se muestran varios ejemplos sobre ese tema, finalmente se invita al alumno a practicar lo que aprendió en ese párrafo, ejercitando la materia que éste aprendió. De ese modo, el alumno se entera de la mayor parte de las reglas gramaticales para luego reproducir los mismos en las formas y posiciones correctas. El método de aprendizaje se orienta a la idea de que la lógica humana puede aprender un idioma realizando 4 etapas: entendiendo, absorbiendo, reproduciendo y repitiendo. Para el aprendizaje de un idioma extranjero, la repetición es de suma importancia, puesto que solo de esa forma quedan grabadas en la memoria, el vocabulario, la pronunciación, los acentos y la gramática.
