SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Course is designed to help the learner masters hundreds of common idiomatic expressions used in the United States. Audio discs present 20 lessons, each of which explores a set of idioms through natural dialogs, explanations of the meaning, examples of use, and spoken practice exercises. CD-ROM presents each idiom and explanation in both spoken and written forms plus a spoken example with opportunity to repeat, and includes a way to hide the idiom or explanation, in flashcard style, as a way to test progress. A listener's guide with transcripts of the dialogs, idioms, and explanations is "available online."
