Reviews

"Ideal for the above-average tourist or business traveler, the Take Off In language-learning series offers a practical yet entertaining approach for beginners to read, write and speak a foreign language...The mix keeps the audio sessions fresh and realistic, with a dash of humor. All that fun still requires a test at the end of each unit, but upon completion, novice speakers will have graduated to the intermediate level with the ability to book hotels, order from menus, send thank-you notes, navigate public transportation and engage in office parlance."--Kirkus Reviews
