5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential Idioms in English,
By Raul (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Idioms in English: Phrasal Verbs and Collocations (Paperback)
It has been rated with 5 stars for the following reasons:
It is very easy to get familiarized with the idioms. The step-by-step approach is very convenient and it facilitates the learning process. With respect to the previous edition more friendly and pleasant to read. A very well edited book.Although the content remains substantially the same, we find outstanding improvements.

Essential Idioms in English: 5th Edition by Robert J. Dixson,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Essential Idioms in English: Phrasal Verbs and Collocations (Paperback)
This edition is an improvement over the 1992 edition. The same idioms are presented, but the format is easier to read and includes red letters highlighting the idioms. Formerly some of the pages were printed on blue background making it hard to see. These pages are now white. Additional and more interesting exercises are included. The answer key it still there, saving the teacher time. This edition has divided the idioms into beginning, intermediate, and advanced. An excellent book for adults.

3.0 out of 5 stars
not better than the previous~,
This review is from: Essential Idioms in English: Phrasal Verbs and Collocations (Paperback)
Hi, i bought the first edition in 1994. That one was really a good one. I liked the fact that it had 'german' among other languages at the end of the book. Today i got this new edition, and i was disappointed. They dropped the german, and I only see portuguese, spanish and french. And the page organization / format is worse, the first one was easier to read and locate each item. Shame on you, products are supposed to improve, not go backwards.
