This collection of 42 short English lessons focuses on specific
American idioms and common phrases. The thematic chapters are
organized into seven categories: Let's Get Started, Fun with Food,
Body Language, Animal Wisdom, Colorful Language, How's the Weather,
and Where Are You. Each concise self-contained chapter explores a
single American idiom with clear definitions, sample sentences,
short readings, comprehension checks, vocabulary lists, writing
activities, and conversation questions. The comfortable pace, unit
quizzes (with answer keys) and an index of American idioms and
expressions also makes this book comfortable for both English
classroom use and self-study. Written for high school ESL students
and adult English language learners, this book can also improve the
vocabulary and cultural literacy of intermediate English students.
Understanding and using these American idioms will help immigrants
sound more like their American neigbhors. Idiom by idiom, readers
and students will find speaking English less difficult and more fun
- even "a breeze."
