Unboring English

In studying foreign languages, half the success lies not in rote memorization, but in enthusiasm. Olga Markova, the author of this book, will explain how to make English exciting.
A multitude of funny illustrations, examples from everyday language, colloquial expressions, idioms, proverbs, sayings, and jokes will help to navigate some rather difficult questions: Why are there so many dialects in English? How can you remember phrasal verbs? How not to confuse the word order in a sentence? How many tenses are in English and when should each be used? How does American English differ from British English? and others.
