Books for learning English expressions aren’t like this anymore. This book is more of a list. Way too basic-okay for beginners but really boring. Not worth the time.

[Katsumi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've used this tool since I was a student. It was truly useful then and now my students enjoy it as much as I do, because it is easy to use and to understand. It has examples to simplfy and to make the idiom clear. therefore, if you're looking for an Idioms'book. Do not hesitate. This is it!!

Generally speaking, it is a light book that lists basic idioms each is followed by examples to show how to use it and after each lesson there is a time to practice with the exercises.
