Talking a Good Game
Author: Allison Hawk Collinger
Publisher: Ahc Consulting
ISBN: 9780989062701
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Understanding American English is one of the first challenges that foreign nationals encounter in the U.S. corporate culture because American business conversation is riddled with sports references and expressions. Without that knowledge, business and social opportunities are lost or wasted by non-Americans (and non-sports fans) who work with or for Americans simply because they don't know how to take advantage of sports talk to build strong relationships. "Talking A Good Game" is an informative and entertaining guide into American sports and sports culture that offers a mix of must-know information about all major American spectator sports and teaches readers some common sense communications techniques for using sports to make valuable business connections and social contacts, too.

Lost in a Good Game
Author: Pete Etchells
Publisher: Icon Books
ISBN: 1785785060
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
'Etchells writes eloquently ... A heartfelt defence of a demonised pastime' The Times 'Once in an age, a piece of culture comes along that feels like it was specifically created for you, the beats and words and ideas are there because it is your life the creator is describing. Lost In A Good Game is exactly that. It will touch your heart and mind. And even if Bowser, Chun-li or Q-Bert weren't crucial parts of your youth, this is a flawless victory for everyone' Adam Rutherford When Pete Etchells was 14, his father died from motor neurone disease. In order to cope, he immersed himself in a virtual world - first as an escape, but later to try to understand what had happened. Etchells is now a researcher into the psychological effects of video games, and was co-author on a recent paper explaining why WHO plans to classify 'game addiction' as a danger to public health are based on bad science and (he thinks) are a bad idea. In this, his first book, he journeys through the history and development of video games - from Turing's chess machine to mass multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft- via scientific study, to investigate the highs and lows of playing and get to the bottom of our relationship with games - why we do it, and what they really mean to us. At the same time, Lost in a Good Game is a very unusual memoir of a writer coming to terms with his grief via virtual worlds, as he tries to work out what area of popular culture we should classify games (a relatively new technology) under.

American English
Author: Bart Niklas
Publisher: e-bookowo
ISBN: 8396374406
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Niniejszy ebook edukacyjny zawiera kilkaset zwrotów i wyrażeń potocznych i slangowych, używanych w dzisiejszym języku angielskim w odmianie amerykańskiej. Są to zwroty używane na co dzień przez rodowitych Amerykanów, zarówno w życiu codziennym, jak i można je usłyszeć w amerykańskim filmie, serialach TV itp. Pozycja ta jest zatem znakomita okazja, zarówno dla uczących się, jak i pasjonatów języka angielskiego używanego w Stanach Zjednoczonych (również w Kanadzie), do poszerzenia swojej wiedzy w tym zakresie. Zawartość ebooka wykracza poza standardowe zwroty i wyrażenia, które można znaleźć w innych książkach lub słownikach z idiomami i slangiem. Autor jest osoba dwujęzyczną, a niniejszy ebook jest wynikiem jego wieloletnich doświadczeń jako lektora i trenera języka angielskiego, uczącego zarówno w Polsce jak i za granica. Doświadczenie autora jest także związane z jego wieloletnim pobytem zarówno w Stanach Zjednoczonych jak i Kanadzie, dlatego też czytelnik otrzymuje wraz z angielskimi zwrotami przykłady i kontekst sytuacyjny razem z polskim tłumaczeniem. Są to przykłady tzw. z życia wzięte, których można uczyć się całościowo, zapamiętując całe frazy. Tym sposobem uczący się będzie potrafił posługiwać się językiem angielskim codziennym tak jak rodowici Amerykanie. Życzę wszystkim przyjemnej lektury i owocnej nauki! Autor I would like to present to you this ebook on American English phrases, including mainly colloquial language and slang expressions. I'm giving you the result of many years of teaching experience along with a few pointers on how to read the content properly. First of all, please keep in mind that it's NOT a language dictionary,meaning you won't find the origins of most of the phrases here. However, it's all been categorized in alphabetical order,so that it's easier for the reader to find and memorize a certain phrase.Also, I'd like to assure you that ALL of these idioms and slang expressions presented in this ebook are used in today's American English and you can be sure that American people use them on daily basis.With every phrase you will get a short example or a mini dialogue to help you understand it in context. You'll also notice that the given examples are mostly informal style, to give you a better idea on how American people talk and express their thoughts in everyday life situations.Finally,please remember that it is my own subjective selection of American expressions which I believe will bring you a little closer to the real and spoken informal language.Some of them you won't find in other phrase books or popular dictionaries and some you'll probably see for the first time. Surely there is also a group of idioms which you have probably heard or read somewhere before,so it could be a great opportunity for some of you to brush up on your language skills.As the Latin saying goes: 'Repetitio est mater studiorum' which means 'Repetition is the mother of learning'... so off you go and let's get started. Have fun and enjoy everyone!

But they will help all beginning readers--those who have reading problems and those who do not--learn to read and want to read.
