The final part of the book contains a grammar review and a summary of pronunciation rules. The entire course is structured to support independent learning.

What's new in the third edition of the Rivstart A1/A2 textbook?

• REVISION - The new third edition of Rivstart A1/A2 places a strong emphasis on regular revision, supported by tests and review exercises.
