Book Introduction
A word from MD
Readers who enjoyed studying "American English Conversation Grammar 1 & 2" will find this book a step further! While the relatively dense and lengthy English text might surprise you, familiarizing yourself with Kim A-young's teaching style will help you gain conversational skills, both linguistically and beyond.
- Park Sook-kyung, MD of Korean and Foreign Languages
Ayoung A's best-selling "American English Conversation Grammar" is an English conversation book full of American flavor.

Professor Kim A-young of Florida State University has brought a breath of fresh air to English grammar studies in Korea with her series, "American English Conversational Grammar."
This time, I'm back with a confident introduction to English conversation idioms that are ingrained in American daily life! I'm doing it with my fellow American, Professor Jennifer Grill.
Full of useful, American-inspired conversations, this book presents a new framework not found in existing idiom books.
I highly recommend this to those who clearly know the combination of words but can't figure out what they're saying, and those who want to say the perfect word at the right time but can't think of the right words and end up at a loss.
English conversation idioms that will be your most powerful weapon for understanding and speaking without misunderstanding.
Even if teacher Kim A-young says it, it's all over.

Publisher's Review
The most American colloquial English idiom that has never existed before and no one has attempted it.

Forget the boring and dull feeling of the idiom-example 1:1 correspondence structure that comes to mind when thinking of idiom books.
We are approaching you with a novel structure and content that you have never seen before.

If you want to speak and understand not just words, but also what you say, then English Conversation with Idioms is for you.

-One of the many criteria that distinguish native speakers from non-native speakers is the use of idioms.
So, not being able to use idioms means you can only speak them and not get into the conversations of native speakers.
Haven't we been confining such important idioms to the category of "idioms" and boringly focusing on one-to-one, meaning-example correspondences? And haven't we been making the absurd claim that we don't understand why we should bother with something we don't even use? Even if we want to deny it, conversational idioms are essential for a higher level of conversation with native speakers.


Idioms must absolutely be learned through conversation!

-Idioms contain the culture of the people and society that use them.
Learning and forcing yourself to memorize idioms and examples one-on-one without this understanding is a study method that is sure to fail.
To truly understand idioms, you need to use them in real-life conversational situations that reflect the vivid daily lives and culture of Americans.


The essence of colloquial conversation, recognized even by native speakers, will ignite your desire to study!

Say goodbye to forced, extracted sentences for idioms! Native speakers recognize this authentic, colloquial language, brimming with both a uniquely American sensibility and universal empathy.
Idioms used in sentences like this are the ones that really hit home.


Repeating three times is real studying!

- In rock-paper-scissors and the finals, the third round is the real thing.
I also applied the three-fold truth to English conversation idioms.
We encounter three different conversational passages with the same idiom.
You've seen it three times, so it's probably familiar.
It doesn't stop there.
In addition to the conversational text, we have provided three other examples to ensure that the learning structure is structured so that the learner sees the text at least six times, no matter how poorly.
It's time to experience the thrill of idioms coming out of your mouth without having to write them down on paper.
