You're watching an American movie or listening to some Americans chat. But wait! Lots of the words and expressions that you're hearing are totally unfamiliar to you. How could that be? You've been learning English for years, or maybe English is your native language but you happen to be from another country! Aha, guess what! What you're hearing is American slang, the English that formal textbooks never touch or go near.

American slang is the everyday language that Americans use, and this book will help you understand and learn it.

This book takes a comprehensive approach to introducing American slang. All the popular topics are covered and each topic is fully illustrated with examples.

If your goal is to really understand and master the slang that Americans use in their daily lives, then you need this book. Slang is your key to understanding American movies, songs and everyday talk.

There's one caveat to learning slang. Keep in mind that slang is full of all kinds of colorful words, including some very offensive ones such as those used in the topics of sex and racism. You don't need to use these words yourself but it's vitally important that you understand what they mean. Understanding them will open many new horizons to you and give you a deep insight into American culture. Thus, when you hear US President Trump bragging about grabbing some pussy, you'll get to understand that he's not talking about petting some cute felines!

So come on, be cool, hop onboard, and let's get on with our American slang journey!
