5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Americans relocating to the UK, 2 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I read the descriptions in this book and couldn't stop laughing. British English really is a different language. Buy this book to help you decipher what the Brits mean.

This review is from: Best of British: The American's Guide to Speaking British (Paperback)
I have given this book to several friends. Both Brits and Americans think it's a riot. Buy it today! (If you want to laugh.)
