Reviews

[Huda · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very useful indeed.

[Dereky · Rating 5 out of 5]

very useful, but it is very difficult for me since there are so many unseen words, I should have read the intermediate version instead of this advanced one. Never mind, the next time I am going to read it. Futhermore there are answers to the questions, I must do the exercise also so that it is worth spending so much time on it.

3.5, maybe?
It was our textbook. I thought I wouldn't learn new words since I was raised bilingual, but I was wrong. This book is literally "advanced." I just don't think some exercises are useful. That's why I don't give it 4 or 5 stars.
