this delftse methode is quite a decent method to learn a new language, naturally i recommend this book along with other books to achieve the most when learning a language. the book is full of 45 lessons each about a page long and unknown words are italized with their meaning listed on the next page. this book also has some words in parenthesis showing alternate words meaning the same thing which i find extremely helpful. after each lessons reading exercise there is a fill in section where you fill in missing words in what you previously read. there are also questions making sure the text is understood along with more 'fill-in-the-correct-word' exercises. i believe the book comes with a tape or cd with someone reading each lesson, the copy i have doesnt come with a cd or tape so im not sure about how the voice sounds or anything.
