"On the Backside, Please!"



I accidently found this book on "insider's-english.de" , a nice link where I eventually signed up, not only because I wanted to subscribe to OWAD (One Word A Day) but also because it's full of quite funny and useful stuff that especially helps you enrich your vocabulary. You can do tests here, as well, and even order file cards, books and book semiars, trainings. But enough about this link...I actually wanted to talk about the book I ordered from insider's english.
Although this book doesn't seem to be really helpful to improve our English, mainly because it's written in English and German and because it rather targets other people other than language learners, it's hilarious. "On the Backside, Please" is mainly about typical German speaking people's mistakes (translation errors) but it also contains quizzes that you have to do while reading, a list of tricky words, Pseudo-English, Instant English plus tips how to study words best.
It's a nice and fun book that might not be as demanding as our Orange Book but learning a language should be fun too and this one for sure makes you laugh and you'll also learn a few things (even if it's "just" avoiding typical mistakes made by German speaking people ;-)
