Fun and Educational!

We had an exchange student in our home last year and I bought her this book. We had a lot of fun with it. Her English was pretty good, but these types of expressions always confused her. Then, we would laugh because in trying to explain one "idiom" to her, we would end up using another in the explanation.....and so on- we never realized just how much we use these little sayings in our everyday speech! This little book came in handy- now, I am buying another for my new sister-in-law who is from the Phillipines. Check it out- it's a small, simple book, but worth it for sheer entertainment!
