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
or contact us at 96483-96483. You can also join our Whatsapp group on 96483-96483 to get free content on the English language.

With this book we are launching our e library(at https://winitwithvinit.subscribemenow.com ) through which we will provide you
articles, e books & other content on the English language.

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!
