These books from Cambridge are very nice, but there are too many Englighisms as it were that need explaining.

A Useful Text
~ Written on Feb 21, 2007. 9 out of 10 users found this review helpful.

This book contains 60 units of idioms for classroom, personal or tutorial use. Each unit gives idioms, meanings, examples and plenty of exercises, and it also has an answer key in the back. I found the layout very user friendly and very well done. Keep in mind when buying this text that it presents idioms, not slang or colloquial idioms. Some of these idioms are a little dated, but the vast majority are well worth learning, especially for conversation and listening comprehension in everyday life. I would recommend this text be used for intermediate to advanced ESL students. I enjoyed using this book in my class and found it well received by the students.
