Overview

You cannot speak informal English without knowledge of idioms and even a bit of slang. Dialogues with Idioms is a preparatory book for Intermediate to Advanced level English language learners (B1-C1). The speakers in the dialogues converse in conventional, informal American English, the type of conversations you could hear on the streetcorner, in a school classroom, or almost any living room from Hawaii and California across to New York or Miami, Florida. The Index at the end of the book lists nearly four hundred idioms and phrasal verbs, and also a handful of slang expressions, from the fifty dialogues presented. Each dialogue is followed by a detailed section of notes, providing thorough explanations and understanding for the student. The author also comments occasionally on more difficult phrasing that may arise in the dialogues, so that no reader is left behind while proceeding through the dialogues. This new book is exactly what is needed by the ambitious student of English. All too often ESL students can create near-perfect theoretical sentences and yet are still perplexed and or even helpless in informal conversations with native speakers. Their everyday spoken English may be brusque, stilted, rude, or even nonsensical! Dialogues with Idioms goes a long way towards solving the various problems and challenges faced by the serious English language learner.
