About The Book & Mission
It gives me immense pleasure to present before you the e book that has the potential to change the way you learn
English. But it will require some doing & spoken English is all about doing. ‘Learning & knowing’ is only one facet of the
coin; the other, and perhaps the more important one, is speaking. I would strongly recommend two reads of the book-
first, to know & learn & second, to put your learning into action. If you think you are comfortable doing both the acts
simultaneously, go for it.

The objective of writing this e book is to help you start your journey of learning, not to make you a perfect speaker of
English. If being a perfect speaker of English is your long-cherished goal, this e book will prove to be a spark that you
needed to start walking towards that goal. But to become a good speaker you need to do much more than finish this
e book. We have a lot of free resources waiting for you on our website www.zitaenglish.com & a huge collection of
videos on our YouTube channel ‘Learn English With Zita’(Click the link for quick access Learn English With Zita)

If you want a full-fledged online course on English speaking, you can get enrolled for the same on the website
mentioned above.

For me, teaching English is a passion & one of my life goals is helping minimum ten million people be a speaker of
English. You will do me a huge favor by sharing this e book with your friends & relatives who want to learn English &
be a part of the mission.

I would be happy to get your suggestions & feedback. You can write me at zitaeducation@gmail.com.
Wish you a great learning experience!

“I’m at the mall.” OR “I’m in the mall.”
“I’m at the park.” OR “I’m in the park.”
