Excellent Idiom StarterReviewed 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.
Brilliant (Brillante)Reviewed by Beatriz Rodriguez Benitez, 2007-04-07
I believe this book is a must for the ESL classroom, since it is effective even while not being that expensive.
Language education......Reviewed 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.

Fun way to study EnglishReviewed by Juanita Lopez, 2003-07-03
I can recommend Speak English Like an American to you. It is a very good way to learn important and useful American English idioms and expressions. I like the fact that the idioms are used in a story, then you get another example in a sentence, and then definitions in Spanish. There are good exercises also. This is a very interesting way how to study the language. I am using some of these expressions at work and people at my office are saying, "Oh Juanita, your English is improving!"
