5 out of 5 stars Awsome Book! I've studied Chinese's for years, and my high school adopted a program where they get a Chinese person (1 a year) to help teach the class and expose us to real Chinese. My teacher got this book to help the assistants figure out what we were saying in English! It's just loke our regular textbooks, but sooooo much more useful! I've gone over some of the stuff in here with our assistant teacher and she's getting more comfortable with English, just like I am with Japanese! 5 out of 5 stars; Great for Classroom Use! June, 1 2017 A very good tool. My friend used this in Spain while teaching English, and she said the students began using idioms whenever they could squeeze them into a sentence. It provides great example sentences, and you can easily turn the book into a lesson plan or create flashcards from it. English learners and English teachers alike should have these books. 5 out of 5 stars. Great Tool June 1, 2017 It's a very useful book. I like the many examples and the good organization of the book; it's easy to read and learn from. The color makes it stick out from other textbooks, too. I would recommend this series to anyone learning English. It really helps you understand everyday English phrases. 5 out of 5 Stars This is a great learning tool June 1, 2017 This is a great learning tool. Not only does it provide multiple examples of these idioms in English sentences, it also has fill in the blanks and crosswords to help you learn how to use them. These exercises and the CD make the book stick out (look, an idiom). This means you see the idioms, you hear them, and you practice using them. I'm glad there's a second book to this one
