Publisher's Review
The author was not originally good at English.
When I first went abroad in my twenties and couldn't even speak a word of English properly, I started learning English again out of the question, "What do I say in English?"
Instead of memorizing words, I learned them by understanding their meanings and contexts, and now, working at an Australian company, I'm able to naturally have everyday conversations in English.
This book contains all the know-how on 'real English words' that he discovered through trial and error.
"What do you say in English?" is the perfect book for those who find studying English difficult and boring.
It's useful to lightly flip through one page a day, or to look up expressions whenever you're curious about them.
It will provide a new experience for those who are just starting to learn English, as well as those who have tried many times but given up every time, to realize, "English can be this easy and fun."
