Superb Format

I teach English to Chinese professionals and have found Mr. Burkes book to be invaluable. Each chapter has an opening dialog using idioms. The author then proceeds to present the information in traditional English, he then offers and explanation of the same material, and finally he translates the correct English into everyday spoken English. The balance of each chapter is devoted to giving additional explanation for each idiom. Additional idioms that have a similar meaning are listed as well as idioms that have the opposite meaning. Crossword puzzles and word games round out a great book for teaching idioms to people from other countries.
