All Clear! Idioms in Context (Book 2) + MP3 Audio [2nd Edition]
Considered by some as the best idioms books on the market, these enticing texts splash through the world of idioms with an irresistible charm! Each two-color book offers 8-12 units of theme-grouped idioms. Each idiom is introduced with a humorous illustration where needed, a clear definition, background on its origin, and sample sentences.

The idioms are then followed by mini-dialogues, dictations, pronunciation work, listening exercises, and discussion and writing tasks. After every few units there is a sensational review section filled with off-the-beaten path practices, from puzzles to tic-tac-toe! The audio components provide recordings of natural conversations and material for the listening exercises.

This is a very good idiom book because it provides definitions, examples, memorable illustrations, and practice. The practice consists of dictations, self-reflection on what you learned or didn't understand, discussion questions, dictation, skit writing and improvisation. Oh, and there are review games (crosswords, tic-tac-toe, and guess the idiom) after every four lessons. There are 12 lessons and an alphabetical index of the 300+ idioms taught in the book.
