Advanced English - Idioms in Context (1) - Jack and Jill's Adventures in a New Life (Advanced English - How it is Spoken) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The English language has been referred to as a secret. With its many phrasal verbs and its richness of idioms, listening to a native speaker can seem a little like trying to make your way through a maze. Without intense practice, or without an abundance of native English friends or colleagues, cracking that secret may seem insurmountable. As a native English woman, Dee Watson knows that conversation can be so rich in idioms that there is nothing left for the advanced student of English to grab at. ‘Advanced English – How it is Spoken’ is her way of getting these phrases out to those students of English who are almost at a perfect understanding of this business language of the world. Told in story form, this first book holds almost one hundred idioms, all laced into conversation, so as to understand their meanings. At the end of each part, you will find a list of the idioms used and an explanation for what the phrases were saying within their context. At the very end of the book, all idioms are once again listed, just in case you are wondering about one and can’t remember where it appeared in the book. This book is well worth its price, so buy it now and see just how far you come with understanding those idioms!
