Great for Classroom or private tutoring EFL/ESL

I have used this book as a white American to teach Taiwanese and Korean people the use of these very common idioms in English. All the idioms are set in their context well, with easy to follow, yet challenging exercises. The cassette tape companion is useful but not necessary.I have used this book for 3 semesters in a major language university in Seoul, Korea for teaching Conversational English and it seems to be a good tool for them.Again, all the idioms presented within are pretty useful and not too hard to learn.
