This book really help me understand what is going on when I watch tv or something/ It is fun to learn those vivid slang expressions! I plan to buy all the slangman's serial 'cos I think
through that I can really understand the real English that cannot be taught in class. If you dont learn it on you own you will never get to learn the real English

I used this book and audio CD with some extremely advanced non-native speakers (Koreans who teach English as a foreign language in Korea) and they loved it. They found that they did not know 75% or more of the expressions in the book and they had a great time trying to incorporate the new language into their everyday conversations here in the U.S. Anyone who is a non-native speaker of English can benefit from this series.

An ESL student introduced me to this fine series of street language a few summers ago. Practical, witty, and fun, the Slangman series dares to go where most English teachers fear to trend. David Burke shows some of the overlooked reasons that many international students struggle to understand radio shows, television broadcasts, and daily conversation. Readers will learn idioms, contractions, and many slang terms - and smile a few times. Ideal for international students, EFL students curious about daily life in the United States, and restless young travelers planning a trip.
