Story4 out of 5 stars 17
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.

Phrasal verbs are an important part of the English language. This guide focuses on separable and inseparable phrasal verbs and exactly how to use them. There are no complicated explanations or boring rules listed (you can open any textbook for those!). Instead, each phrasal verb has a short definition that focuses on only one meaning (most phrasal verbs have more than one meaning, making them difficult to learn). Every phrasal verb also comes with multiple real life examples on how to use it.

personal favorite in my esl teaching toolbox
Any additional comments?
This is a personal favorite for me, as it always comes in handy with new students. Most English learners in the intermediate level do not know half of these idioms and phrasal verbs. The audio helps guide our lessons. I pause the audio to explain further. Very, very useful for English tutors.

It was a waist of time for me, maybe a 2nd language user may find helpful but i needed the more complicated idioms and these were to simple. if there was a script i would have been able to determine that and traded for a more valuable book.. the narrator voice was very clear and provided many examples needed for a new English learner
