ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

not better than the previous~
~ Written on Feb 20, 2008. 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.

Hi, i bought the first edition in 1994. That one was really a good one. I liked the fact that it had 'german' among other languages at the end of the book. Today i got this new edition, and i was disappointed. They dropped the german, and I only see portuguese, spanish and french. And the page organization / format is worse, the first one was easier to read and locate each item. Shame on you, products are supposed to improve, not go backwards.

Excellent ESL Book

This is an excellent tool for making phrasal verbs part of your vocabulary. I have been using this book with my students for the last 5 years.

FOR CHILDREN

Schoolish set-up; questions with multiple answers, answer key at the back. Good for children at school, not if you wish to learn more quickly.

With respect to the previous edition more friendly and pleasant to read.
A very well edited book.Although the content remains substantially the same, we find outstanding improvements.

Essential Idioms in English: 5th Edition by Robert J. Dixson

This edition is an improvement over the 1992 edition. The same idioms are presented, but the format is easier to read and includes red letters highlighting the idioms. Formerly some of the pages were printed on blue background making it hard to see. These pages are now white. Additional and more interesting exercises are included. The answer key it still there, saving the teacher time. This edition has divided the idioms into beginning, intermediate, and advanced. An excellent book for adults.
