Hi,

I'm looking for a self-study English conversation course book for an adult with fair speaking skills. It needs to have tapes/cds with it but they can have either a British or US accent. I'm not looking for a book that's focused on passing a test. It'll be used by someone who travels internationally and wants more options for communication.

Thanks,
Cat

Hi Cat,
I've recommended this book before. It's called "Natural English" and is published by Oxford University Press. I think they have four levels now, so you'd be able to look through each one and decide which is best for your student.

It has cds and is full of great discussion topics and supporting exercises.

I can recommend a couple of titles here:

A Conversation Book

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/013792433X/eflinasiaA/002-4853041-0164043

and English in Mind

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0521750466/002-4853041-0164043?n=283155

Both books have CDs for listening.
