It's never too late to start learning English! The self-instruction manual was created specifically for mature people who believe that it is too late to start learning a foreign language.

The text is printed large, the pronunciation of English words is given in Russian letters, the long vowel sound is traditionally marked with a colon, and the stressed vowel is highlighted in bold.
