“ Without a working knowledge of idioms, even the best speech will remain awkward and ordinary.”
Robert J. Dixson
Idiomatic expressions have an important role in the English language. In fact, the use of idioms is so widespread that understanding these expressions is essential to successful communication.
The student may learn grammar and, with time, acquire adequate vocabulary, but without a working knowledge of idioms, even the best speech will remain awkward and ordinary.
Idiomatic expressions add grace and exactness to the language. For this reason, the idioms, phrasal verbs, and collocations included in this course have been selected because they are, for the most part, basic to good English.
Collocations are words that tend to be used together, not based on rules of grammar, but rather based on traditional patterns of usage by native speakers.
The use of Essential Idioms In English will provide students with a surer grasp of English idioms and greater confidence in using them.
Overall, the Essential Idioms course continues to provide an outstanding comprehensive introductions to idiomatic English for learners at all levels. A great added value to any general conversation course !

The book focuses on everyday business writing, which, in today’s business world, is usually sent by email. The book also contains some examples of other types of writing such as letters, memos, telephone messages and cover notes.
Emails are often short and can be very informal. However, even if email is informal, it should still be accurate, appropriate and easy for the reader to understand. Emails can also be formal – for example when writing to someone for the first time, your email can be just as formal as a letter. There is no standard style for email writing and the book reflects this fact in the range of language presented. One point to note is the use of contractions. Some people tend to use contractions. In more formal letter writing, full forms are recommended; in emails either form is used.
