Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: I'm originally from Denmark and work with people from all over the world. We have lunch together on Fridays to compare sayings I'm originally from Denmark and work with people from all over the world. We have lunch together on Fridays to compare sayings from all over. Some of them have become part of out every day communications. I't a lot of fun. Interesting Niche Book I found this book to be fun and interesting. It is fun to read U.S. idiom books, but it was very interesting to read idioms from other countries. I love the cover, it makes for a perfect coffee-table book because it instantly evokes interest. Suddenly, everyone will be huddled around the book giggling and commenting on the idioms. You will enjoy this one, it is well put-together. Funny and informative This is a great little book that allows the reader to peak into other cultures and learn about their idiomatic expressions. This is not a foreign language phrase book, as all of the phrases have been translated into English. It's a quick and delightful read. fun but... This was a fun, quick read (actually, more like browsing a catalog). Only problem was that I asked a number of friends who hailed from many of the nations listed in the book about the local idioms listed in the volume and often got a curious look--like, I've never heard that one myself. Maybe things got lost in translation. Anyway, I think this would be a perfect book to have on a coffee table for a party--people would browse through and shout out different ones with joy. Nice job! A Fun Read I found this book very interesting and entertaining. The only thing that would have made it better, was if he had used all the entries in a typical sentence to aid in understanding usage. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
