1. I discovered that Peter Liptak opted to teach simple idioms that he could find. His explanations of them were even more uncomplicated. - BookThumper (BookThumper's Review) 2. A crossword puzzle after every five chapters that combine the idioms from that section adds an element of fun to what otherwise could be a challenging experience. - D Churchill (Churchill's Review) 3. [... ] All in all there is enough variety in the exercises to ensure the reader can understand the idiom in different ways, - UnicornKnight (UnicornKnight's Review) 4.[...] I loved the short stories included, it helped me to realise how idioms are used in our daily lives... - Lee-2u (Lee- 2u's Review) 5. After each lecture in each chapter, stories were given and questions were asked to make the readers practice what they had learned. This is genius... - Timothy Fatabolin (Fatabolin's Review) 6. These activities were written in a way that grabs attention, keeps attention, and makes answering the questions fun. - CorpsLeg (CorpsLeg's Review) 7. The book also boosts the reader's confidence in using idioms as its examples and quizzes require the reader to use numerous idioms to finish statements and questions. - Judah Benjamin (Judah Benjamin's Review)

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book! I've studied French for years, and my high school adopted a program where they get a French person (1 a year) to help teach the class and expose us to real French. My teacher got this book to help the assistants figure out what we were saying in English! It's just like our regular textbooks, but sooooo much more useful! I've gone over some of the stuff in here with our assistant teacher and she's getting more comfortable with English, just like I am with French! 5 out of 5 stars . idiom . .
