- Recommendations for which text books are best to learn English from. Useful tips for students of English. For all students who are studying English. Best books for the Cambridge FCE exam, the CAE exam, LanguageCert exams, general English, the best books for learning English vocabulary, the best books for learning business English. The best book for learning English grammar.
As an English teacher, I can attest that there is nothing like a good book to help you take your English up a level. I am not familiar with most of these texts, probably because I am in the U.S. I use the Grammar in Context series and Grammar Explorer series and love them both for grammar. Grammar and Beyond 4 is excellent for advanced learners who want to improve their writing.
Hello, what grammar book, and books in general could you recommend me to learn American English ?
Which one you use, grammar in context from Mcmillan or National geographic? @LearnAcademicEnglish

Remember to take care of your grammar when using Grammar In Use. It is important to complete grammar collections regardless of your skills.
I've finished 30 lessons of IN USE (blue V edition), without it I couldn't have written it, my recommendation for all
I finished to read Basic Grammar in use 106 Units in 3 months 😢 I wanted to finish it in 1 week, but i wasn't consistant.
@@lumbrerasprepdf4349Wow, I have been studying with this book for 8 months already, and now I'm on Unit 141. My plan is to finish it by Wednesday.
How you finished it , with teacher or by yourself
@@YulduzAbdullayeva-zd6ie I've been learning along, but sometimes I need a teacher's advice)
Omg, this is my English book from 2006. I like it so much and it is still in my library! It was THE BEST to learn English grammer...
Thanks for your suggestions English Books.
I just fell in love with your content! Truly insightful recommendations for those who want to learn English for academic purposes. 🤩
That's right, those are some of best books to learn English well. Not only English Grammar in Use I also use English Vocabulary, English Academic in Use in order to improve my vocab
Also very good books published by oxford university press to learn grammar are: Oxford practice grammar by John Eastwood . levels from beginners to advanced. These series of books are similar in approach and structure to book which Dave recommended in this video namely: english grammar in use.
Thanks for your useful comment Tomasz. David
I recommend books published by National Geographic Learning, like 21st Century. I love how they designed the book to serve different aspects of the learning process. These books boost several skills and employ Ted Talks for that purpose.

Thanks for your tip Marwa. David
may i know the name of the book
Great recommendations! I've been using Grammar In Use for many years, from the Elementary to the Advanced. Thank's a lot
I used to teach grammar in use and vocabulary in use books series in my English course.
Hi David! Thanks a lot for your suggestions!
I've got a big challenge at the moment and I'd really appreciate any recommendations. I must teach a group of students, aged 15-17 who have an A1-A2 level of English. Most of the course books I know and have used are secondary, 5-6 level textbooks. I cannot use their elementary level, since the content is designed for 11-12-year-olds. So, I am trying to find a good A2 level book with content that would be more appropriate for older students. I have seen some samples of Oxford English File and New Headway, or Cambridge Empower;but they seem to be too much adult learner oriented, and less teenager focused. Any thoughts and suggestions would be of great help. Thanks!
Thanks a lot David for your recommendations
Thank you for recommendation😊 ..Mr.David.
I love English File, I think it's a modern version of Headway. I am learning upper intermediate English with those series. Thank you very much.
Hi David, I really liked both tips. I've been studying English on my own for a year and I'd like to invest in one of these books. Which do you recommend for B1 level beginners? Thanks!
By the way, could you recomend a C2 level book for exams like CPE? It's been quite a long time since I last studied English in my life, maybe almost ten years and I'm always saying to myself that I need to take this CPE exam and I end up never taking it at the end of the day, but I know I kinda need it. Can you recomend me some pls? Again thaks for your amazing channel!
Great teacher

This is gold information, people should treasure it. I have used those books and you are completely right. Specially with the grammar in use as a general book.
Thanks for your comment Rosa. We are in accord! David
When it comes to vocabulary "oxford advanced learner's dictionary" is the best one I've the 8 th edition but there are many editions, which are the latest editions. But I'm not an English teacher so your recommendations are better than mine.
Your recommendation is valid too. Thanks for your input Ali. David
Thanks my friend for your contents
I like Murphy's books. I have three books. I'm glad I bought these books.
For children I recommend oxford grammar friends and also series of family and friends.

Yes sir.this book is good for grammatical knowledge. I read it .
Wren and Martin is known as Bible of English grammar, Written by Oxford professors for British students in British colonial India then local indian students also benefitted from it it was revised by ND Prasadarao in Independent India... For Indians and Pakistanis it is an emotion
You are correct ! The book was published in 1935.
My high school books, these books have also red and green color too.
Ahh ahhh what memories they're.

Wonderful ! I love all these useful books. Thanks 😅
Ok Sir.
(English Grammar in use)
Sometime ago I just came across this book while scrolling...But in my locality this book was not available at book stores. But I start studying it in soft form. One day I was just wandering in library when I found this book in rack. I was stunned! And then I kept (But also avail it) this book on my study table through the whole semester. And at last Librarian was not agreeing to issue a new book to me:)
Maybe the librarian wanted to give other people the chance to use it too : ) David
Thanks ever so much.
David Crofts - is Absolutely brilliant teacher, thank you, mr.David!!!! 🎉
Cheers, Serge.
Dear Serge, many thanks for your comment, I am glad you like the video. Please don't forget to recommend my channel to your family and friends too. All the best, David
This is exactly what I have used 35 years ago definitely will get you where you want to be not only me who used this book but the whole family fantastic book I definitely recommend this book to learn English as foreign language.
Thanks for your comment Mallko, David
❤ Thanks.
English grammar in use that book was delivered to us in our school many years ago and it looked complicated to our ages so i didn't like it but after more that thirty years i came across it accidentally and opened it to discover that it wasn't explaining grammar rules only but showing different structures in forming sentences it's suitable for high school or university but not beginners
You are right there. However, there is a lower level version of the book which is more user friendly for lower level students. David
English File starts from Beginner level, not from Elementary:)
I try and study English with this book. It's very good but it has some little mistakes especially in tests. The mistakes are in Pronunciation keys (incorrect answers to tasks on a stressed syllable). I don't know why... I bought this book in a licensed store in Moscow. Nevertheless, it isn't a problem. These books (Teacher's Book, Student's Book, and Workbook) are impressive. I have no cause to complain, because I found those mistakes by myself:)
(From Russia with love (not war))
Good comment Sir. I find the difference between Beginner and Elementary to be negligible so I feel the Elementary book is suitable for most students to start with. I am not aware of any mistakes with stressed syllables due to the fact that I always ensure that my students are pronouncing words accurately. There can sometimes be a difference in stress from one accent to another too. I think your English must be very good so I don't think for you it's a problem! 😊 David
@@The-English-Professor Thank you, David!🙂
By the way Russians do mistakes in their home language😅 They wonder why this syllable is stressed and not that one! Because they get used to an incorrect emphasis😄 It's almost like "garage" in English, I think... There are three different ways for pronouncing as I remember...
(Sorry for my English, I just study😁)
Thanks a lot 🎉.
Practice and progress books !
When it comes to Grammar, I prefer Oxford Practice Grammar & My Grammar Lab (Pearson) to Murphy's books by a long long shot - more exercises for your practice, way better and more detailed explanation.
Speak Out is a great series to improve your spoken English
English grammar in use was a superb manual.
Excellent 👍 TQ
Thank

What is the name of the book?
Pls write down the names of these books and their writers name. Thanks.
Thank you very much🙏
what books would you recommend for students who are learning English as second language in Pakistan.
I love English File series. Very logical and user friendly. I used to be a teacher and from whole range of English books I choosen these because I was sure that they were and always will be the best.
I agree Katarzyna. David
Hello @katarzyna I'm leaning towards English File series, but there are a few different versions of them, i.e. New English File, American English File. Which books / series would you recommend? I studied grammar long time ago and want to refresh my knowledge. Thank you.
@@Saad-Sadiq It depends if you prefer to use American or British English. If British English the best will be English File or New English File. American English File uses American English which is slightly different. But both series are very good, logical and useful and the quantity of grammar is accurate.
@@katarzyna3084 Thank you so much. For now I've started with English grammar in use the one David recommended in the video. Are there any other books that would recommend? Thank you.
