This is a very helpful product. I have been working in restaurants for almost 20 years. I have come across people from all kinds of places. India, Turkey, Columbia, Mexico, etc. I enjoyed trying to teach them while we are working but there is only so much you can do. Also a lot of these individuals wanted to learn more than just kitchen English and I wasn’t trying to run an after work study program. I bought some of these people books with audio CD’s but some just didn’t seem to do the trick. This looks like the perfect solution. Thanks for pointing it out.
You will need to assess the student’s vocabulary level before deciding which book in the vocabulary series to use.
