Idioms Sidekick

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago

The task of learning idioms is daunting for ESL students. Approaching this matter lightly often leads to frustration. Berman and Kirstein have managed to avoid the traditional dictionary approach and made Practical Idioms an invaluable tool for the mastery of such phrases. I would shrink the over-1,000-idiom list and increase the number of exercises available. This might further help students in their struggle to harness idiom power for more authentic, near-native communication. Great buy!

I think this books is an excellent resource for those who wish to speak English in a very natural manner. The methodology used in the book takes a very straight forward to the use of phrasal verbs an idiomatic phrases.
