Product Description
by Brad Carty (Author)
One of the more difficult things about working with native English speakers is their use of expressions, or idioms. What's a "dog and pony show"? What does it mean to "leave someone in the lurch" or to "take a beating"? Unfortunately, you can't stop English speakers from using these idioms, so you need to understand them yourself! Each of the more than 500 idioms in this book is presented, in alphabetical order, with its meaning and a business example. Recommended for intermediate to advanced English speakers. The author, Brad Carty, has taught business English for over 20 years to students around the world, and has a Masters Degree in Teaching English as a Second/Other Language. He is also the author of 500+ Business English Phrasal Verbs.
