Norman lewis needs no introduction. He is an authority on the English Language. Its one of his bestselling books. Its an asset for any person who wants to master this language. Its a self help book. Every thing is explained in detail. He teaches you the etymology of the words.Some interesting ones are'How to Flatter your Friends', How to Insult your Enemies', 'How to talk about various Speech Habits', etc. He also tells you how to remember the words.
In each chapter there are very good exercises, whereby Lewis trains you to remember the same word in different ways. He not only teaches you the words, but their exact pronunciation too. At the beginning of the book, there is a chapter titled 'How to use this book for maximum benefit'. Here he tells you not to read, but to work on this book and to master the pronunciation system. I am sure anyone who follows his instruction and finishes it thoroughly in 30-45 days will definitely thank Mr Lewis for providing him such a valuable knowledge in a simple and lucid way.
This approx. 700 page book also contains pronunciation key and word list dictionary of difficult words. I suggest you you to go through this book to discover that after all English is not that tough.
