What You Hear Is What You Get
Phil Newton

Phil Newton was born in Liverpool, England a long time ago. He was educated at Merchant Taylors’ School, Crosby and the University of Birmingham where he graduated in 1977 with a degree in Ancient and Modern Greek.

His first job after studying was as the offal man in a chicken factory! He then spent two years in Greece as an assistant at the University of Ioannina. After that he worked in London for Scottish Television.

In1980 he moved to Munich and has lived there ever since.

He divides his time between his four children, writing, translating, English teaching and composing and performing music. He co-wrote the music for the CD ‘Born in Bavaria’ in 1996 and in 1999 brought out his solo CD ‘What You Hear Is What You Get’. Both CDs are available from his website: www.philnewton.de.

He is planning a companion book to ‘The Best Mistakes…’ in which he intends to deal with English grammar.

In this book he has put together a collection of the most typical mistakes German speakers make when they learn English.

However, the book is not just a list. The author uses carefully chosen examples and translations to help you see, for perhaps the first time, how truly awful and embarrassing these mistakes can be!

Everyone who reads this book will stop at some point and say, ‘oh no! I’ve been making that mistake for years!!’

And everyone who reads the book will stop at some point and laugh out loud because it is ALSO very funny!

English is Easy!
