Through Garrison Keillor's characters, this book aims to give students an insight into the concerns, values and sense of humour of Americans. His contemporary, idiomatic language gives students a feel for how Americans speak. Exercises are included that help to develop listening and conversation skills such as understanding vocabulary from context, getting the main idea, listening for details, predicting, making inferences and using idiomatic expressions. A set of two cassettes is available to accompany the book.
