Customer Reviews

This is so funny!

I had a German professor in college who told our beginning class about a speech delivered by John F. Kennedy in Berlin. Kennedy, wanting to tell the crowd he was one of them, cried out "Ich bin ein Berliner!" It turns out the president was enthusiastically shouting "I am a jelly doughnut!" All languages have their idiosyncracies, and English is no exception. This book is packed from cover to cover with hilarious (but innocent!) mistakes made with the English language by students trying to learn it. You can open this book to any page and get a good belly laugh. I read it from cover to cover and now I have a stomach ache! This is a great little book to have on your coffee table, or sitting in your bathroom for your guests to read. It would also make a perfect gift. Everyone will love it! I bought three copies and will probably be buying more soon. If you like to laugh, buy this book!

This is one of the funniest book I ever came across. I am foreigner myself, and this is amazingly funny, specially when you see what kind of mistakes we all did when we came to this country. Only one bad side is that no one collected my funny mistakes
