204 Illustrated American Idioms

About 204 Illustrated American Idioms

Someone once said that a picture is worth 1,000 words. Idioms create pictures also. They can be facilitators (when they help in understanding) or they can become barriers (when they confuse understanding.) What I have attempted to present in this book is to remove any barriers to understanding idioms (by drawing an illustration for each idiom.) Every language has idioms. Some have fewer, some have more. Idioms enrich language by making it more colorful, more memorable, more useful, and above all, more fun. America has idiomatically been called "The Melting Pot" because of all the many immigrants (with such different languages) who have made this country their home. Because of this fact, America can boast that it has the richest treasure chest of idioms. It is also why the American Language is so difficult for people to understand. Socrates said {/Something is good when it fulfills that purpose for which it was created." I believe that my Illustrated American Idioms will fulfill the purpose of helping people to acquire understanding, better their language usage skills, and laugh more through it all.
