Features: This series is specifically designed as a self-study manual for American slang for non-native English speakers. Each book comes with one CD for practicing listening and learning correct pronunciation. The CDs are recorded by native American English speakers, reading out the "Slang Conversations" and "Vocabulary" for each chapter. Additionally, since the "Slang Focus" in the last four chapters of the book lists very common and practical slang, it is also included on the CD to provide greater benefit to readers. The book uses special icons to indicate the content read on the CD and lists the track numbers, making it very convenient for readers to search while listening. This book collects the most commonly used American street slang in daily life and explains them through vocabulary exercises, illustrations, and word games. Through conversations, vocabulary exercises, and explanations, it introduces common American slang expressions, helping readers deepen their understanding of spoken language. Common slang is categorized by specific themes, including everyday idioms, alliterative idioms, repetitive words, everyday proverbs, and survival words, each explained in detail to enhance readers' learning interest. A CD is included, reading out conversations and vocabulary, allowing readers to learn correct pronunciation.
