A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Elisabeth Smith was born and educated in Germany. She studied English at Hamburg University with a teaching career in mind, and well before EU days was offered her first assignment at a London prep school.
While on contract in Africa she became sidetracked by commerce. She spent the next ten years learning about printing and publishing in Zambia before joining a publishing house in Johannesburg where she ultimately became the company's chief executive.
In spite of climbing the corporate ladder she never lost her interest and skills in teaching languages.
During the last 30 years she has taught French to English children, English to Zambian students, German at evening classes and Italian to her daughter "just for fun".

Since moving to Spain she had to learn Spanish in a hurry - cutting across traditional learning methods. This gave her the inspiration for the
highly successful "Teach Yourself Instant..." series currently offering eight titles with a further four to be published in early 2001.
Elisabeth Smith now lives in Marbella like a "proper" author with a volatile PC and two cats.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This one-day course is specifically written for the holiday maker for whom a short holiday does not justify a complete language course. It comes on one 75-minute CD and teaches only basic, core words, as few as the holiday maker can get away with, and a few useful phrases, which will be supported by body language. The accompanying 16-page booklet simply lists the words and phrases taught on the recording - no pronunciation guide, no grammar summary, just a written record of what has been learned.

The action takes place during a flight from London to Spain. Following a challenge from the passenger in the next seat to her, Elisabeth Smith teaches him enough Spanish to be able to get around on his holiday. The dialogue is broken up by in-flight announcements, meals and drinks being served and even some turbulence.

The course is fast and light-hearted and reflects the anticipation and excitement of going on holiday.

This new edition offers a brand new self-assessment feature, including cultural points and travel tips.
