Product Description

Take the mystery out of American phrases

American speakers know what it means to "take the bull by the horns" or "make ends meet," but if English is your second language, these phrases can be a source of confusion. 101 American English Idioms with Audio CD explains these common U.S. expressions with dialogues that put the phrase in context as well as their meanings in standard English. Humorous illustrations help you remember each entry.



From the Back Cover

This book makes American English phrases “duck soup.”

If you “take the bull by the horns” are you taking decisive action or running for your life? When you “smell a rat” are you sensing something's wrong or calling an exterminator?

101 American English Idioms takes the mystery out of these common U.S. expressions and explains their meanings in context. On the audio CD, native speakers read each of the 101 idioms, so you can hear how American English sounds and practice what you have learned.

What Americans really mean when they say . . .

  • Drive someone up a wall--annoy someone greatly
  • Raise a stink--protest strongly
  • Pull someone's leg--fool someone
  • All thumbs--clumsy
  • Shoot the breeze--chat informally
  • Feel like a million dollars--feel wonderful
  • Duck soup--easy, effortless
