Your reference books of synonyms, dictionaries and a thesaurus is not complete until you add this brilliant book.   Whether or not you are a native English speaker, the over 400 pages of information will definitely aid in your communication with others.

Inside this reference book you will find -

- Easy to understand meanings and equivalents for:

• Idioms
• Phrases
• Expressions
• And some commonly used sentences

- Typical examples of how these expressions are used.

- The likely origins of these expressions.

- Illustrations that serve two purposes:

• They add humour to an otherwise serious reference book; and
• They illustrate how some expressions could be misinterpreted by someone who is hearing them for the first time.

- And finally, some interesting expressions and proverbs from other languages and cultures, which show how people of the world have more things in common than we tend to realize.

In our house we all love words.  I keep a journal of words that I love and we often play the "dictionary game".   We'll take turns opening up the dictionary to a random page, putting our finger on a word, and reading the meaning.  The "game" is to see who can be first to guess the correct word for the meaning.  Well, now there's a "new kid in town". (see page 236)

This wonderful book is written by Reza Mashayekhi, who was born and raised in Iran but later attended the University of Michigan and it is dedicated to the memory of Yoshihiro Hattori.

Yoshihiro Hattori was a Japanese foreign exchange student in the United States who lost his life due to an apparent misunderstanding over language.  

It seems he did not know what a frightened and armed home owner meant when he said, "Freeze!"
