3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent appearance, the content is not that great, November 26, 1999

By	De�k Csaba (Budapest, Hungary) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 101 American English Idioms: Understanding and Speaking English Like an American (Paperback)

The appearance of the book is excellent: both the graphics and the audiotape are excellent ways to help you learn the expressions. However, during my stay in the US, I found that most of the idioms are rarely used.

If you are a foreigner, and want to learn how to speak American English, get 'Street Talk 1' instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some did not work!, August 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 101 American English Idioms: Understanding and Speaking English Like an American (Paperback)

As soon as I read this book I used some phrases to my friend, who is an American lawyer obtained a degree from Duke grad. No doubt she is intelligent enough. But some of them did not work. For example, she did not understand "dressed to the teeth" at all. Because I used it at our friend's wedding party, the situation was perfect to use it. In addition, I wrote them down for fear that she had not catch them correctly because of my pronounciation. I found that some of others also didn't work. I wonder if some of idioms on this book are obsolete. But, generally, it seems to be useful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Recording is for fun, not very , July 27, 2004

By	Cuvtixo "complibrary" (Arlington, MA USA) - See all my reviews

I am a Bostonian who heard the recording from one of my English students. Dressed to the teeth is an expression I readily recognize, but I am more likely to read it than to hear it in everyday, modern conversation. Some of the expressions are probably regional, perhaps most from Northeastern section of the country. Of course the term American is often misused, and foreign visitors should be careful buying books claiming to teach American words or phrases.
