Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: British tags Comment: Es el pasaporte para entrar al Reino Unido. Me sirvió extraordinariamente para conocer: a. frases clave b. comunicación diaria c. curiosidades en costumbres d. particularidades del Reino Cómprelo con total confianza. Customer Rating: Summary: very interesting book, very useful Comment: I bought this book, because i'm interested in English. I'm not a native speaker, and i'm not brought up in an English speaking country. After learning for English in school for almost twenty years, i'm more interested in culture now. I can find out how British language is different from other English, and how it is related to other language. It's just a wonderfully amazing experience reading this book. More Reviews
