looking for a good book for English conversation
0 Hi, I'm looking for a good book for everyday English conversation, which is full of everyday contexts. 02 br
00 I prefer a practical book with a CD, which includes how to buy a concert ticket, how to book a room at a hotel, 02 br
00 how to transfer money to a bank account, how to use a credit card or how to ask the way to get somewhere. 02 br
00 I know there are a lot of books on this, but I'm not sure which one is the best. 02 br

0 Hi, 02 br 00 I too have been looking for someting like that! I don't know how many books of this kind there are, but I guess there aren't really a lot, compared to the number grammar books available. 02 br 00 "English vocabulary in use - Basic - Intermediate - Advanced" could be useful books (Cambridge University Press).

00 I think those books ("English grammar in use") are not exactly what you're looking for. They are more about teaching vocabulary (words) than teaching what to say in the most common situations (I think there are no complete dialogues ). As I told you, I didn't read them, I just took a look at them, but anyway, this is the catalogue (both British and American stuff): 01 a

0 I have just launched a subscription based product called Talktrain. Although the conversations are not task specific like booking a hotel or transfering money, it is full of everyday conversations and is a very useful tool for someone who is serious about improving one's English. It contains over 90 hours of course material. 02 br

Guys!!!!!
You really should know a book named TABOOS AND ISSUES IN ENGLISH.
I do believe you will find nothing as good as that one.
You may even google it, ´cause it is even downloadable.
See you.
