The Book of Nonsense includes more than a hundred limericks, the text of which has not undergone any simplification. The book is adapted for those learning the language as follows: each limerick is repeated twice: first there is an English text with “tips” - interspersed with a literal Russian translation and a lexical and grammatical commentary (that is, adapted), and then the same text, but not adapted , no hints. Beginners learning English can first read the text with hints, and then the same limerick - without hints. Those who are improving their English can do the opposite: read the text without prompts, looking at the clues as necessary. Memorization of words and expressions occurs due to their repetition, without cramming. In addition, the reader gets used to the logic of the English language and begins to “feel” it. This book will save you from the stress of the first stage of language acquisition - from a mechanical search for every word in the dictionary and from fruitless guessing what the phrase means, all the words from which you have already found.
