American Idioms

Loved this book of idioms. My sons school just did a parade of Idioms and this book was very useful as each child or pair of students had to portray the idoms in a parade for others to guess. I also find it useful for explaining the idioms to friends and co workers from overseas who are not familiar with the terms. I recommend this book to others as it can also be used for trivia fun.

Realy quite entertaining

I have learnt so many new slang terms over this past week I've actually really enjoy it listening to this narration is pace good generators clear and the writing is entertaining

I still say tubular. Anyone else say tubular? No?

Yes, that is correct–I still say tubular. Have I ever surfed in my life, I hear you ask?… No, I have not. But does that mean I want to deprive myself from some classic, good-ol fashioned, American-born, patriotic, stars and stripes lovin’ slang? It does not.

Richard Valencia creates a masterful language-booster for anyone looking to enhance their communication with everyday American folk, wether it be from the depths of slang in all of its many variations and nuances nationwide, or the idioms we use that would not make a huge amount of sense to someone that hasn’t been yet fully immersed in our culture.

And although the first paragraph to my review was somewhat tongue in cheek, this book has a very “official” and colloquial vibe to it that, in my opinion, would actually be fantastic for any non-native speaker to get a bit more into the groove of how we speak and write. It helps!
