I have read some of the books authored by Peter Liptak and I have always loved them. He has proven to be a teacher who cares deeply about his students and their progress. I bet that is why he chose to curate roughly 300 idioms, write about them, and ultimately translate them to Chinese. This book teaches everyone who reads it the right way to use some idioms and in what context they should be used. Everything was, of course, like I said, translated from English to Chinese.

My Chinese or Mandarin is rough, so I could barely read out what was written, but the reason I picked this book (Idiom Attack Vol. 1 Everyday Living (Trad. Chinese Edition)) was because I believed that the parts written in English were going to teach me a lot. I was right. It showed me idioms that I never knew existed. They were idioms that were about different times of the day and those that could be used for specific activities and places. You can say that I learned so much about it that I disliked nothing about it.

I liked the images placed carefully throughout the book the most. I learned so much from these images. They were drawings depicting some of the idioms talked about in the book. They made the book feel more real to me. If it was just words throughout, I don't think that I would have liked the experience of reading this book the way I did now.

I have said that I liked everything in the book. It can easily be translated to mean that there was nothing that I disliked in all of Idiom Attack Vol. 1 Everyday Living (Trad. Chinese Edition). This is also a good time to mention that I didn't find any typos or errors in the entire book. Many authors wish their books were well-edited, so they pay others to do so. However, they occasionally overlook some misplaced punctuation and words, thus making the book less than perfect. But that is not the story of this book. It was excellently edited.

Because I liked everything in Idiom Attack Vol. 1 Everyday Living (Trad. Chinese Edition) and learned a ton of good lessons from it, I rate it 4 out of 4. I don't want to enjoy what this book has to offer alone. If you wish to learn hundreds of idioms or make your English stronger, and you majorly speak Chinese, you should get this.
