English Is Easy MR Andrew M Patterson

English is Easy: Advanced is the last level of a trilogy of learning and teaching English. While beginning English focuses on the German roots and Intermediate focuses on French/Latin roots, Advanced takes up homonyms that sound alike but spelled differently as spelling in English comes from different languages, and then comes examples of how the homonyms are use. Then clichés, anagrams and anagrams (NYSE = New York Stock Exchange), English phrases and their historical origins such as "it's raining cats and doges" and "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Metaphors that suggests likeness. The formation of scientific words from Greek such as telephone, telegraph (voice from afar and writing from afar) and Latin words in science. Homo in Latin means "man." So homo sapiens means "man who thinks" while homogenous means to distributed equally alike through out and homosexual means sexual relations between two people of the same sex. Then there are dialogues for restaurant ordering, menus, kinds of food, types of food, cuisine, and menu selection, traveling by air and checking in, to visiting a doctor for a medical check-up. At the end are well known nursery rhymes, songs from Australia, Scotland, and America. Differences such as a dush in England or a ducha In German means a shower. So Americans, don't be offended if the hotel registration in British countries ask if you would like to have a dusche with your room or share a dusche with another room for a reduced price.
