Features: There are 6,000 to 8,000 languages in the world, a vast ocean of linguistic diversity. This series of books only covers nine of them: English, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, German, and Italian. However, these languages, combined with our native language—Chinese—account for over 90% of the world's population. Whether you are preparing to travel, study, or work in any country, you will find the knowledge you need in this series. The books include nearly 400 practical phrases or sentences, most of which are idiomatic expressions—well-established, widely used (fixed phrases) that are highly expressive and impactful. They are lively, vivid, precise in meaning, and rich in emotional tone, showcasing the unique cultural connotations and aesthetic psychology of each language. Learning idiomatic expressions is essential for every foreign language learner and those working in international contexts. A word only gains its full meaning within a specific context, so language teaching must be contextualized. This concept is now widely recognized. This series designs over 1,000 scenarios that closely resemble everyday life. You can immerse yourself in them, observe carefully, and apply what you learn in your interactions with foreign friends. You can already imagine their surprised and approving expressions. To help you achieve a more authentic pronunciation and natural intonation, we have provided a free MP3 disc with recordings of the book's audio. Although it is free, we put a lot of effort into its production, and all the recordings were made by expert university instructors.
