[Following is a volunteer review of "Idiom Attack Vol. 1 Everyday Living (Trad. Chinese Edition)" by Peter Liptak.]
Idiom Attack Vol. 1 Everyday Living (Trad. Chinese Edition) by Peter Liptak is a book in which the author provides 300+ idiomatic expressions that are native to North America. Peter Liptak wrote these idioms in two languages. These languages are English and traditional Chinese. He also included pictures for the benefit of those readers that want to see some illustration. At the end of each of the 25 chapters, Peter Liptak gave short exercises. These exercises will help the readers improve their usage or understanding of the idiomatic expressions contained in the book. Overall, Idiom Attack Vol. 1 Everyday Living (Trad. Chinese Edition) is a valuable book for traditional Chinese speakers that wish to learn more about American idiomatic expressions.
Idioms are not new to me. I have always known what they are. Unfortunately, I have never really made a conscious decision to learn more. That changed when I saw this book. Idiom Attack Vol. 1 Everyday Living (Trad. Chinese Edition) grabbed my attention from the first page. I liked how the author arranged the book into 25 chapters. Reading and understanding it was easy for me because of that. Why did I say this? I said this because each chapter has a theme. All the idiomatic expressions in that chapter stayed true to the chapter's theme. It was a huge blessing for me.
I have already said that Peter Liptak translated the idiomatic expressions, explanations, and exercises into traditional Chinese. The translation was perfect. I liked Peter Liptak's graciousness. I do not know if he did that himself or hired a translator. I know that he or that person did a great job. My favorite thing in the book is the translation. I liked this the most because this will make it easy for Chinese-speaking foreign learners to learn all the idiomatic expressions in the book.
Reading Idiom Attack Vol. 1 Everyday Living (Trad. Chinese Edition) was fun. I will never regret reading one of Peter Liptak's many books. I did not dislike anything at all in it. I will say this any day. Because my love for Idiom Attack Vol. 1 Everyday Living (Trad. Chinese Edition) is absolute, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars. I also did not find any errors in the book, so I believe that it was exceptionally well-edited.
Common sense makes me recommend Idiom Attack Vol. 1 Everyday Living (Trad. Chinese Edition) to Chinese students that want to learn more about American idioms. I won't just recommend it to students. I believe that any Chinese-speaking person that wants to learn about American idiomatic expressions should read this. If they are currently struggling with reading the English language, they can focus on reading it in Chinese alone.
