โฆ Synopsis
I use this book on daily basis and I couldn't be more satisfied with it. Idioms are so common in speech and writing in today's English, that you really don't stand a chance of speaking or understanding the language properly if you don't get familiar with its idiomatic expression. I recommend that you buy this book together with "Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions" and read a few pages of both every day (you don't have to do it in alphabetic order, of course). Do it whenever you have 10 or 20 minutes off. The effect of the time you dedicate to this activity will amaze you. That's all what it takes to transform you into a great English languge speaker. The book is packed with many practical examples that you can start using straight away.
