Native English Conversation Idiom Dictionary
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The perfection of native English expressions depends on idioms! What if you know a word but can't translate it? It's likely an idiom. To properly interpret such expressions, one must understand the meaning of the idiomatic expression as a whole, not just the individual words. Native speakers use idioms on a daily basis, so knowing idioms is essential to understanding native speakers and speaking English naturally. So, how many idioms should you know? To provide a clear answer to this question, Professor Lee Chang-soo, author of the best-selling English conversation book "Native English Expression Dictionary," has returned to idioms! This book presents 580 idioms that significantly impact the level of English fluency, along with common expressions, allowing for a quick overview and comparative study. If you want to speak English fluently and stylishly, you need to be able to use idioms along with common expressions. Additionally, by providing detailed explanations as if listening to a lecture, learners can develop the ability to use idioms appropriately. In addition, it helps you memorize the meaning with practical conversations and abundant examples. If there was a word you didn't quite understand while watching the show, try finding its meaning in this book. After reading this book, you will be able to truly understand what native speakers are saying and gain the ability to speak English naturally and appropriately, just like a native speaker. MP3s recorded by native speakers and PDFs of additional expressions can be downloaded for free from the Darakwon website (darakwon.co.kr). |
