title: Easy Phrasal Verbs: Learn English verbs through conversations (Volume 1)
author: Mr Daniel S Shepherd MSc
description: My name is Dan Shepherd and I was an English teacher in Japan from 1995 to 2009 where I ran three language schools and taught students of all ages and from a wide variety of backgrounds. During my time in Japan, I realised that learners of English often find it difficult to use phrasal verbs. When I searched for a textbook to help my students, I found reference books on phrasal verbs, but I couldn't find any books showing how to use phrasal verbs in everyday conversation. In the end, I decided to write a book, Easy Phrasal Verbs, to give examples of phrasal verbs in conversation to help students learn how to use them in daily life. I've also set up a companion website (www.phrasalverbsexamples.com) to my book where I write a regular blog on phrasal verbs. In the blog, I write conversations containing phrasal verbs, similar to those in my book. On the TV shows page of my website, I'm making a list of TV shows where learners can hear and see phrasal verbs being used. I hope you find my book and website useful. Dan
