Our books contain the most common slang and idioms used every day by Americans. Look at this example:

English taught in schools: "Please stop doing that, I do not like it."

Real American English: "Cut it out!"

Both of them mean the same thing, but "Real American English" is the way Americans speak. With our books, you will learn American English conversation using slang and idioms naturally through dialogues, pictures, quizzes, games, etc. You'll be talking like a native "in no time" (very quickly)!

Expensive classes won't teach you the "real" English conversation spoken by Americans. With our Slangman books, you will learn popular slang and idioms spoken by every American through entertaining dialogues, activities, and games. Learn as few or as many words as you want. (There are over 500 in the book!)

This book includes expressions dealing with: Work, Parties, The Phone, The Park, The Subway, Houseguests, and more...

There are no "dirty" or impolite expressions in this book. For the best results, purchase the audio CDs or cassettes.
