American English Compendium

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.
