Her English was so good and so full of idiom that he and his wife took her on one side to ask where she had learnt it. Her reply stunned him, "I've never been out of the country. But I do teach English at Sevastopol University." Lucky students! When he returned home Colin emailed Olga with a list of 20 phrases and the question, "How many of these would you use and be comfortable with in normal conversation?" Her answer was, "3 but would you please explain the other 17". These were the origin of this book.All royalties from the sale of this book go to the Aidan Woodcock Charitable Trust which sponsors young professional musicians and helps them develop their careers.
