I have just spent a few days in Toulouse at the very pleasant Hôtel St Claire. That is sic, not Ste Claire. It turns out that it is part of an international group and their licence does not allow them to change the hotel’s name to the correct French form!

Peter Harvey: A Guide to English Language Usage for non-native speakers
An entertaining and illuminating read … shows a high awareness of learners’ needs – it is clearly written by someone with solid classroom experience … The grammar sections are a strong area of the book … The information provided [on pronunciation] is accurate and relevant … the cultural information as a whole is well-presented, colourful and accurate … [it offers] clear and useful directions for learners … MODERN ENGLISH TEACHER **/** Every English fact at your fingertips … a more than handy reference tool for all involved in imparting linguistic knowledge on a regular basis. In the author’s alphabetically arranged detailed content one can only admire the spirit of Dr Johnson. ELGAZETTEPeter Harvey: Great English Mistakes made by Spanish-speakers
An easy-to-read and user-friendly book … grammar receives careful attention … may benefit both intermediate and advanced students of English … Teachers of English may also find it useful. TESOL SPAIN **/** While [this book] is clearly aimed at the Spanish-speaking learner of English it is also valuable for the teacher of English working in a Spanish-speaking environment … [it highlights] many of the false friends which exist … Translations show the learner what words do, and, equally importantly, do not mean … with a wealth of real-life examples which are sometimes humorous, the book is very readable … There is certainly a gap in the market for such a book … of all the many English language books I have on my bookshelf, this is the only one that has a long waiting list of Spanish-speaking friends wanting to borrow it. MODERN ENGLISH TEACHER.
