hello kim this guide book
hello kim
this guide book is maybe the best as i know
but i think that it s not for every body .i mean
it s only for the advaced learner .why .because there
is now glossary i mean there is no translation for the
word in the sentences in the examples .so we know the
meaning of every sentence but we don t know what means
every words exactly .i did already contact you about
this point maybe 1 or 2 years ago but you did care about
it .you may think that matter is not so important .because
there is many dictionary online .but online translation is not
always true .and there is not translation for some words online
i hope that you ll add a glossary for the translation of
the voccabulary in the end of every lesson and i m sure that
that will help more and making this guide more suitable for
begiiner .intermediate .and advaced
thank you

The popups doesn't work in
The popups doesn't work in every browser, e.g in chrome it shows nothing. You have to check the code directly to dig up the meaning and reading of the word
