When creating this blog, I've dived deeply in the question of self-studying and study materials. Right now I'm longing for some more books that would help me master English and widen my knowledge of the Anglophone world.
So far I'm using these: Joe Wright's Idioms Organiser (it's my inspiration for Incredible Idioms)
Thomas Parish's The Grouchy Grammarian (soon I'll add a review)
McCarthy's and O'Dell's Academic Vocabulary in Use
But I know that this is not enough. Our teachers at the grammar school weren't the best and even though I use English everyday, I still feel I have a lot to work on. In the wishlist I listed the textbooks that I hope could help me with my English struggle :-).
Oxford Word Skills: Idioms and Phrasal Verbs
Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary
Oxford Collocations Dictionary for students of English
Oxford Guide to British and American Culture
Cambridge: English Collocation in Use
Oxford Word Skills: Advanced
Wow, now it seems I'm a bit Oxford obsessed, right? :D

so what, I think that Oxford obsession can't be a bad thing :) and those books look really great, maybe we should start expanding our English language libraries :)
Right, yeah? I just wish I had much more money to spend on these ... but maybe if I stop wasting the money on f*cking clothes that I don't wear anyway, I'd have enough! Please, keep an eye on me ;)
