American Slang, das andere Englisch

Even those with good English skills may encounter communication problems when traveling to the USA. English is not spoken the way it is taught in schools or language courses; each country has its own linguistic peculiarities and colloquial terms. This special language guide contains everyday and colloquial phrases as well as typically American expressions that can differ significantly from British English. Even swear words and insults are included – although not recommended for imitation, it’s important to understand them if confronted.

Kauderwelsch Slang reveals the casual and laid-back expressions of everyday language, the colorful curses people use to vent their frustration, as well as the language of the scene and the streets. With Kauderwelsch Slang, you can grasp the local humor, dive into the jargon of the nightlife in big cities, impress locals, and of course, meet new people. Even advanced learners can discover plenty of new things here. The index lists about 1,000 slang terms that are rarely found in traditional dictionaries.

With QR codes and pronunciation examples, smartphone users can listen to selected words, phrases, and expressions from the book. The Kauderwelsch language guide from Reise Know-How is handy, practical for everyday use, and suitable for over 150 languages.
