Spoken English is a practical guide to the English language written by Reginald Cooray and published by Godage International Publishers. The book has one clear purpose: to help readers speak English more clearly, naturally and with greater confidence in everyday situations.
The title is accurate in every sense. The focus throughout is on spoken English, the living language of conversation rather than the more formal English of examinations and written prose. Readers are guided through the words, patterns and rhythms of ordinary speech at a pace they can follow.
At 200 pages, the book is substantial enough to cover the ground properly yet compact enough to carry and to work through steadily. It is written in English, so learners meet the language directly on every page and build familiarity sentence by sentence.
For a student, a working professional or a self-directed learner, this is a dependable companion volume that can be read straight through or dipped into for revision. It also makes a thoughtful, practical gift for someone working to improve their English.
