Idiomatic expressions (essential idioms, native expressions, phrasal verbs, common sayings, figures of speech, and colloquialisms) are COLORFUL groups of words that paint pictures in our minds of a meaning unrelated to the individual words. Idioms decorate the daily conversations of native English speakers in various ways. And because the combination of words will seem peculiar to non-native speakers, it is often quite difficult for them to learn idioms. So if your goal is to conquer English, you must conquer idioms first (before they get you). To top everything off, we’re bringing you some idioms you’ll encounter when life gives you the good, the bad, and the ugly. Idiom Attack has developed these flashcards with your busy schedule in mind. We understand that you have a job, work, kids, or other school work to worry about and we want to make learning something new painless. When the kids wake up or the work bell rings, just put the cards back in the box and continue with your day. They will be there when you need them next. Be prepared with the finest tools to respond in common yet creative ways. Be fluent in American English and never feel out of place again! Finally, you won’t have to worry about fitting in or not know what to say. TLDR – Learn idioms through visualization, find context, try to translate, find a key word, be creative, have fun, guess, keep your ears open, listen for tone of voice, just listen (speaking will come later), learn by topic, and learn through audio, images, & animation.

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK: TABLE OF CONTENTS: [[TableOfContent]] REVIEW(S): 5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book! "I've studied Japanese for years, and my high school adopted a program where they get a Japanese person (1 a year) to help teach the class and expose us to real Japanese. My teacher got this book to help the assistants figure out what we were saying in English! It's just like our regular textbooks, but sooooo much more useful! I've gone over some of the stuff in here with our assistant teacher and she's getting more comfortable with English, just like I am with Japanese!" 5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Classroom Use! A very good tool. My friend used this in Spain while teaching English, and she said the students began using idioms whenever they could squeeze them into a sentence. It provides great example sentences, and you can easily turn the book into a lesson plan or create flashcards from it. English learners and English teachers alike should have these books. 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tool June 1, 2017 It’s a very useful book. I like the many examples and the good organization of the book; it’s easy to read and learn from. The color makes it stick out from other textbooks, too. I would recommend this series to anyone learning English. It really helps you understand everyday English phrases. 5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great learning tool June 1, 2017 This is a great learning tool. Not only does it provide multiple examples of these idioms in English sentences, it also has fill in the blanks and crosswords to help you learn how to use them. These exercises and the CD make the book stick out (look, an idiom). This means you see the idioms, you hear them, and you practice using them. I’m glad there’s a second book to this one.
