A few months ago I came back from Brazil with books and audiobooks to make your learning extra fun. We have only a few left. Below is an updated list of what is available to you. These books will allow you to build vocabulary around a specific topic, such as business, coffee, cooking, or wine tasting. The audio book is an excellent, very challenging tool to develop your listening skills. Enjoy!

A note about the purchase process:

The books are divided in groups and you will see a Shopping Cart button for each group. You can purchase books from different groups in the same transaction. To do so, click on Continue Shopping after you have added a book to your Shopping Cart. This will bring you back to the blog post, and you can then continue shopping. I only have one of each book. If a book is not in the Shopping Cart drop down menu, it is because it is not available anymore.

Also notice that  you can use any credit card to purchase online through a secure connection; you do not need to have or use PayPal.
