    Conversational English PDFs and downloads. Any recommendations?

    I'm going to be tutoring a beginner level student in March to help prepare her for a school trip to Singapore in April. I'm going to be doing this free and gratis and want to spend as little time on preparation as I can.

    I'm getting nowhere with Google and already have books like Let's Talk [all of which I find crap because they were designed for people that have moved to an English speaking country, especially the States].

    Cheers!

    Hey Scorps ever tried englishtips.org ? I have gotten a few good conversation books from there that I use in my classes here in deepest Isaan. One is All Talk the other in A Conversation Book 2. I would really like to have book 1 but beggars can't be choosers.

    Now if you want to throw them into the deep side of the conversation pool break out the old Dungeons and Dragons books and get them role playing there favorite movie or book character.

    Wonderful site, good info, but sorry to disappoint you. It's all in Russian.
    Live and work in Bangkok, Thailand, but presently in the U.S. undergoing cancer treatment.

    Check out Scribd, search for the material you want by name or book and you probably will strike it lucky.
    Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.

    Thanks for the site Teacher Banok. Will spend some time on that one. Scorps, mate, telephone Nuntaporn at Cambridge and tell her you were recommended to her by me. She's great and I'm sure will be able to help you out. If you ask for a sample copy of the book she recommends, she'll bang it into the post for you the same day.

    What age is your student, mate?

    Can you PM me Nuntaporn's email address and the name of your private language centre?
