Summary: Idioms Sidekick
Review: The task of learning idioms is daunting for ESL students. Approaching this matter lightly often leads to frustration. Berman and Kirstein have managed to avoid the traditional dictionary approach and made Practical Idioms an invaluable tool for the mastery of such phrases. I would shrink the over-1,000-idiom list and increase the number of exercises available. This might further help students in their struggle to harness idiom power for more authentic, near-native communication. Great buy!
