Essential Idioms in English

I love this book! I've been working with Literacy Volunteers for a number of years and this is one of my favorites for intermediate and advanced students. I particularly like the fact that this book rejects the inclusion of slang, which is a whole different topic. Shortly I will order two additional books to give as gifts to two students when they complete the program this summer.

not better than the previous~

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.

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.
