Advanced Communication Skills

Notes One important point needs to be mentioned here. There are other aspects of a language without
which the learning process will remain incomplete. Phrasal verbs and idioms make the English
language lively, vibrant and dynamic. In fact, you cannot do without them. Then there are
collocations which are, more often than not, ignored by most learners. It is important to know
which part of speech a word belongs to or in which way it has been used. The emphasis should
be on how a particular word or phrase should be or can be used in a sentence
We have not touched upon the problem of pronunciation here, which is of paramount importance
when it comes to speaking English correctly and effectively
It is sincerely hoped that the book will prove to be useful to those who intend to build up their
vocabulary. Errors and omissions, if pointed out, will be removed in later editions. Suggestions
for improvement will be gratefully acknowledged and, depending on their feasibility,
implemented.
