Speak English Like An American

Review by Donna Y. Neuleib, 2010-06-12

This book provided a great adjunct for my ESL student after she became familiar with the regular grammar and verb transitions in the text we were using from her beginning lessons. It is a fun book of idioms and lingo that one is going to encounter when learning to understand other English speakers. It gives the ESL learner a real head start into making conversation in his/her real world, beyond ESL lessons.

Excellent Idiom Starter

Review by Ben Serna, 2007-06-26

This is an excellent book and CD to acquaint beginners with many American idioms. The way it is put together so coherently in short stories makes it simple to learn but at the same time efficient. The CD is also very well done. Even advanced students of English as a second language can find something to learn here.

Language education......

Review by Stephen P. Connors, 2006-02-21

I bought this book for my girlfriend in Panama and this book has been very helpful. She knew some basic English but now is speaking English better and knows more words. She really likes the CD which she listens to in her car.
