* Intermediate Language Lessons by Emma Serl
A classic grammar text covering usage and basic composition, with inspiration from poetry, art, and prose. We recommend the Hillside Education edition of ILL which retains the charm and grace of the original with some additions: updated modern usage, color pictures, larger page size, updated poems, and a variety of new lessons. Page numbers reflect the Hillside edition.
