ENDORSEMENTS:

Her teaching model really speaks to the universal properties of all languages. I love the four verb families as they are

accurate, very helpful for the learner, and sum up the English language helping verbs.”

Jilani Warsi, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Queens College, NY.

“Leona’s method of explaining the structures, rules and roots of the English language are essential for every English

learner. I hope people from all over the world will obtain her book because of its high quality.”

Yusuf Alimukhammad (Colleague at the Writing Center UNizwa)

“With you, I gained a strong basis to know what I know today. I learned a lot with you, more than I learned in College and in high school. So I just have to say, thank you so much!”

Esteban Barboza, I.S--H.R., Chiquita Banana, Ft. Lauderdale

Having studied Leona’s book with its revolutionary approach, I am convinced that her base principles of English can easily

be acquired while bypassing much of the tedious grammar presented in other methods. She makes her students’ lives so

much easier, and learning so much fun! Thank you, Leona, for presenting this wonderful work to ESL/EFL teachers and

students around the world”
