Reviews
A teacher of English to adults in France, Adrienne devised her own teaching method, called "Gimmich." She has now compiled a dictionary based on her method, which emphasizes current American idiom, slang, and even swear words, rather than "the language of Shakespeare." Related words are often displayed in clusters; under drunk , for example, are listed alcoholic , barfly , get loaded , drink like a fish , hang one on , etc. Under look are included many idiomatic expressions like look after , look down on , look in on , look out , look up , etc. Some "false friends" that might trip the unwary are also pointed out. Not a scholarly dictionary, but one that could be helpful to Americans looking for French slang terms.
