THIN, DELIGHTFUL, AND SATISFYING
101
American English Idioms: Understanding and Speaking English Like an American
American idioms can cause confusion and frustrate many English language
learners. This thin, delightful collection 101 idioms uses humor, clear
drawings, and witty captions to illustrate the real meanings of odd phrases.
Many English teachers love the verbal and visual humor, and add it as a
supplemental text for intermediate or advanced ESL students. The mocking
tone, however, probably annoys the more prudish folks. Other adult educators
might also feel that their precious class time is better spent on more
practical life skills.
