Features: The "English OK!" series includes 9 books, though covering different subjects, they share many common characteristics. First, their practicality. Second, their functionality. Third, their multiculturalism. Last, but not least, their communicative nature. Differences between British English and American English often lead to misunderstandings and awkwardness. For English learners, this issue is particularly serious, for example: Americans wash up before eating, which means washing hands, while British people wash up after eating, which means washing dishes. "American English" can make your English work in both the UK and the US! This book is divided into chapters by different topics, each chapter including: British/American vocabulary comparison charts, idiomatic expressions, word spelling tips, grammar guides, and a "Practice Zone" to help you track your learning progress, as well as "Culture Drops" that specifically introduce cultural differences in language.
