Basic Idioms In American English

Plot

This is the first of a two-book series entitled "Basic Idioms in American English". They are intended for students of English as a foreign language. Idioms are a constant source of difficulty for non-native speakers of English. Mastery of the most commonly used idiomatic expressions is essential for natural, everyday communication. Each lesson begins with a dialogue which introduces new idioms in context. This is followed by an alphabetically-arranged list of all new idioms with their definitions and two or more sample sentences. Then the student is asked to use the idioms in a variety of exercises.
