English Words and Expressions 2

By Oldiees Publishing Foreign Languages 16/05/2015

Timeless collection of American idioms and their stories.

An idiom is a phrase or a expression that has a figurative, or sometimes literal, meaning. An idiom's figurative meaning is different from the literal meaning. English Words and Expressions explains and tells stories of the idioms that many learners of American English find difficult to understand.

LEARN ENGLISH AS YOU READ AND LISTEN TO THE DESCRIPTIONS AND STORIES OF AMERICAN ENGLISH IDIOMS. ADAPTATIONS ARE WRITTEN AT THE INTERMEDIATE AND UPPER-BEGINNER LEVEL AND ARE READ ONE-THIRD SLOWER THAN REGULAR ENGLISH.
