regional expressions, and provides a fascinating insight into the history of the English language. If you're intrigued by colourful words and phrases, if you're interested in how English is really spoken, or if you simply want to find out a bit more
about the development of our language, "How to Talk Like a Local" is irresistible - and enlightening - reading.
