5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for improving your English conversational skills, September 21, 2010
This review is from: Speak English Like an American for Native Japanese Speakers (Paperback)
Highly recommended! Speak English Like an American has a great format. You learn hundreds of American English idioms and phrases through a story. You have the option of listening along on a CD too. That helps you with your pronunciation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Purchased this for my wife, June 26, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Speak English Like an American for Native Japanese Speakers (Paperback)
Seems like a good ESL text for Japanese speakers.

A little dry and formulaic but a nicely targeted book.

The CD is pretty standard fare.
