昨年、イングリッシュビタミン社のあるシリコンバレーに在住の日本人（駐在員、主婦、語学留学生、大学生、大学院生）にアンケート調査をした結果、多くの人が動詞の時制や気持ちを伝達する助動詞、冠詞、前置詞、代名詞、慣用句などの使い方がはっきりしないという答えが返ってきました。それもそのはずです。例えば同じ現在完了進行形でも「既に終了している動作」と「まだ終了していない動作」の２つの違った用法があります。同じ「have been ?ing」の形なのにです。また気持ちを表現するのに大変重要な助動詞のShould、Could、Wouldなども明確に理解されていないのも事実です。そこで私たちが制作したのが、この「アメリカ人の心の英文法」。英文法、慣用句、そしてアメリカ人がどのように喜怒哀楽、つまり「心」を表現するのか。その全てをこのシリーズに詰め込みました。一般の文法書と違いネイティブが普段使うダイアログを使い、ダンとルリ子が楽しくレッスンを繰り広げています。状況を把握しながらレッスンは進みます。 各章の最後には「聴いて話す、リッスン＆リピート」の練習も付いています。知識と用法は、日本語で学び、慣用句は、英語で学びましょう！　実践でしっかり使いこなせるようにがんばりましょう！

She discovers a life filled with culture, sophistication, and - with a little encouragement from her friends - a few blind dates.

"The Story of Peter Pan", by James M. Barrie, is one of the most famous tales about youth and dream-like adventures; this classic adaptation of Barrie's play will let you fly on the wings of your imagination. "The History of Tom Thumb" was the first fairy tale ever printed in English. "The Three Sillies" is a very old folktale, and has been handed down over the centuries for its entertainment value. "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" is a classic folktale of which numerous versions are known; they all delight and educate children about the importance of boundaries and personal property. Last but not least, "Jack the Giant Killer" is a fascinating folk tale coming from the Middle Ages, set during King Arthur's reign; it shows how a young man uses clever tricks to outwit terrible giants and rid England of their terrible threats.
