- MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, April 2004

This book is especially for those who already speak English, but now want to take their command of the language to the next level. I must admit that after 15 years in America, I found this book very useful and relevant. I’m definitely going to use it!

I just finished studying Amy Gillett's "Speak English like an American" book and CD.  This book was one of the greatest English language books I ever studied.  I loved the way the book was written -- it is very fun and very easy to learn because of how the conversations are written.  I loved the CD -- I listened to the CD in my car while driving and giggling at the humors.  I also learned many useful expressions.  I now notice those expressions and idioms everywhere--in newspapers, on the Internet articles, etc.  I even started using the idioms when speaking in English.  I thoroughly enjoyed learning them in a fun way!  I already started highly recommending this book to my siblings and my friends. — Odna I., a reader

I like the way this book is put together. The topics of the lessons are very realistic: they use the most common expressions from contemporary life. For each idiom there's a definition with examples, and the exercises and drawings help one better understand and remember the meaning of the idioms, so one can use them correctly when speaking. I know this book will be an interesting and useful resource for those who want to perfect their knowledge of American English." — Gita Vulakh, NYANA (New York Association for New Americans)


I believe this book is a must for the ESL classroom, since it is effective even while not being that expensive. — Beatriz Benitez, Puerto Rico, a reader
