Questions and answers
About the books
What is Easy Language Books?
A publisher of self-study language books for adults. Each book is a complete course from zero to C2, with online practice for each lesson.
Who are the authors?
Ben Hartley is a language expert who speaks Spanish at C2 level; he learned it as a foreign language, as an adult. Hugo Kent is a language expert who speaks English at C2 level; he learned it as a foreign language, starting at fourteen. Yehor Chulkov has been teaching German for more than eight years and has trained more than 2,000 students. Serena Ferraro, the author of the French books on the way, learned French as a foreign language as an adult.
What does each book contain?
60 lessons and 6 checkpoints or tests, in six parts. Each lesson has explanations, exercises, a short self-check, and a dialogue; the answer key explains the answers that need it.
Which levels are covered, and can I start in the middle?
Each book covers A1 through C2. Start from zero or use the self-check questions to find where to continue; the levels describe the material, and finishing the book alone does not establish your level.
Do I need to know grammar to start?
No. You can start from zero. Every rule starts with what the form is for, and only then comes the table.
Are there grammar tables and a glossary?
Yes. The back of each book has tables, false friends, a glossary and an index.
Which exams do the checkpoints follow?
The Spanish books use the DELE format for each level. The tests in the English book and the checkpoints in the German book resemble the exams of their level.
Online practice
What’s in the online practice?
Each lesson’s QR code or short link opens audio, exercises that check your answers, word cards, and an AI tutor.
What does the AI tutor do?
It answers questions about the lesson. You can ask it to explain a rule or a form you’re working on.
What if the QR code does not scan?
Type the short link printed under the QR code into your browser.
