Now in its fifth edition, this book offers practical, "how-to" advice on settling in and finding one's way about in the United States, along with interpretations of American lifestyles that help make the foreigner's first encounters easier and more comprehensible.

Living in the U.S.A. is widely used in ESL classrooms and by corporations, as well as by international organizations and other governmental and nongovernmental agencies. Sprinkled with American idioms, this book is a delightful way to both teach American English and orient the newcomer to life in the U.S.
