American English Compendium

Description

This book, which covers U.S. slang, the varieties of English around the world, foreign words used in English, and much more, is recommended in particular for non-native speakers of English. Grown out of the author’s experience with Japanese students at the Monterey Institute of International Studies, it helps non-native speakers of English, as well as everyone else, understand some of the “out of the way” aspects of the most amazing language in the world – The American Language.
