About this product
Product Information

It tells the story of John, a Chinese-born engineer working in Boston, who attends a management training seminar on a dude ranch in Montana and lives his own Wild West adventure. Learn over 200 idioms and cultural expressions related to cowboys and the American Wild West, expressions that are used every day in business. Find the definitions of all idioms on the page where they appear in the story. Read additional sample sentences that use the idioms in a business context. Reference the handy Index of Idioms and Wild West phrases for quick review. Expand your knowledge with a list of resources for further study. 76-page book with illustrations. Download the free MP3 audio and learn the correct intonation of idioms and phrases by listening to the story read by the author, Jolinda Osborne. Stories for Learning Useful Business Idioms One of the final steps in mastering American English is becoming comfortable with the informal, everyday, sometimes humorous English expressions not usually taught in textbooks. Non-native speakers in the business world are especially challenged when understanding an idiom is critical to understanding the underlying message of a conversation or presentation. Misunderstanding an idiom can lead to confusion or even embarrassment. Dictionaries of idioms fill shelves and online searches, but they do not easily enable readers to comprehend how to use those idioms because they are not explained in the context of an engaging conversation. A better way to remember and become proficient with idioms is to learn them within the cultural context from which they originated. Take the Bull by the Horns and other books in the Stories for Learning Useful Business Idioms series, not only give precise definitions of the idioms, but embed the idioms within the context of the business-oriented story, so readers will quickly internalize and recall them during critical meetings and conversations.

- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.
