Book Description

Native English-speakers use a large number of proverbs and colloquial expressions in their daily conversations. These common sayings, which evolved over the centuries, are like “codes” that reveal the cultural values and attitudes of the speakers. To fully understand and communicate in English, it’s necessary to be familiar with these expressions and know how and when to use them. This book aims to quickly and easily arm non-English speakers with all the tools necessary to speak like a native.
