It aims to facilitate true linguistic proficiency by demystifying the complex idioms, metaphors, and non-literal phrasal verbs that often pose obstacles in various contexts-from daily social interactions to high-stakes business negotiations and diplomatic engagements. The book curates a collection of 250 expressive figures of speech, each elucidated with their etymologies, illustrative images, and applications, drawing on the wisdom of "" (seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times). From a broader perspective, understanding these 'figures of speech' offers significant advantages. It enables readers to comprehend subtle messages and avoid embarrassing miscommunications. For speakers, using these expressions correctly means conveying complex ideas and emotions vividly and succinctly, enhancing storytelling with imagination and engagement. Additionally, adept use of these expressions can foster a deeper emotional and cultural connection with an audience. Readers will find that this handbook does more than enhance their basic English communication skills; it delves into the nuances of everyday dialogue, equips them to navigate socially delicate situations, and empowers them to be compelling in business and diplomatic discourse. Moreover, a familiarity with common figures of speech allows for a richer enjoyment of English-language media, literature, and pop culture. To make this resource widely accessible, especially to speakers of Korean, Chinese, and Japanese-who share a linguistic heritage-all entries are meticulously translated into these languages, ensuring a seamless learning experience.
