The Explorer's Book of Idioms, Vol. 1

Idioms are everywhere. They are the familiar "figures of speech" that we hear from an early age. Language, dialect, and cultural context shape the idioms that we hear and use. They might not appear in the textbooks, but they function as important communication signals.

In this book, we will examine the meanings and usage of one hundred common idioms in American English. These are strange and humorous terms that any explorer might encounter. The Explorer's Book of Idioms is for English speakers and English learners of all ages!
