Sure, you can learn English with a language course or a textbook just fine, and climb up the ranks in terms of your grasp of the language....but are you sure you can talk like a native? For starters, many expressions used by fluent speakers of English can’t exactly be learned in a book, and it can be frustrating to realize that your formal learning hasn’t been enough to teach you the way people talk in real life. Sometimes, it’s all about having the right tools at your disposal...and this is where The Great Book of American Idioms comes in!

After years of teaching intermediate students who never seemed to improve, I decided to find out what the problem was. Essentially, intermediate students get stuck because learning at this stage is a different type of learning than at the beginner stage. You have mastered the grammar and the basic vocabulary, but most textbooks just carry on like nothing has changed. However, what you need at the intermediate stage is not just more dry grammar and lists of vocabulary.

What a fun listen!!
The “American Idioms for Everyday Use”audiobook offered me a fun exploration of American idioms. The narrator's adept portrayal of each phrase brings them to life, making learning both enjoyable and accessible. The anecdotes add great enjoyment while learning. While the audiobook format is convenient, as I could listen while driving or going about activities in the house, I sometimes wished for the print version to reference idioms randomly. I still may purchase the print version to do just that. What truly sets this audiobook apart is its ability to make learning fun. As someone who enjoys exploring language's intricacies, I eagerly anticipated each new expression and the accompanying stories. From “raining cats and dogs” to “barking up the wrong tree” each idiom is presented in a manner that is both accessible and engaging. As a musician, I particularly enjoyed the section on musical idioms! I was surprised to learn the origin of some of these phrases, many from writers such as William Shakespeare. The quiz section pleasantly surprised me, revealing how much I had retained after listening. Overall, this work would be a delightful addition to any library, whether audio or print. It would also be a great gift, whether as a Christmas stocking stuffer, a White Elephant present, or a gift for someone “who has everything!”

The same phrase can be used for several meanings.
American Idioms for Everyday Use is quite useful to decifer conversations. Depending on the context it is used, the tone it is verbalized with or who the recipient of the phrase is intended for or about, is beyond body language. Real words are being used but not the words commonly associated with their meaning. Many of these idioms started back in the late 1800's and have carried forward to today. I had no idea that "hold your horses" actually started out about real horses being under control and held. back. "Taking the bull by the horns" is another phase that exemplifies how the literal meaning has become the figurative meaning.

No beating around the bush here
This is a book like no other I have heard or read. As a linguist I am naturally interested in the origin of words and phrases and this book definitely delivered. I particularly enjoyed the quiz! It is a great fun activity for informal groups or for teambuilding. It is ideal for people learning English as a second language and for new migrants to the USA.
With these familiar phrases with real life examples and clear explanations, this author did not bite off more than he can chew.
