Learn hundreds of new words over a weekend! The "Vocabutoons" in

of rhymes and humorous cartoons. Tested in many southwest
Florida
Junior and Senior High schools, Vocabutoon students eared up to
three times more "A's" than students with traditional vocabulary
study books. Vocabutoon words are those commonly found in SAT
tests. Recommended for SAT test prep, Special Education

What's Up America?
by Diane Asitimbay
If you are heading to the United States, this book could be more valuable than
an English dictionary or Alka Seltzer tablets to digest the greasy food at the
fast food places. This isn’t a traditional guidebook that directs you to a
particular hotel or helps you apply for a driver’s license. What it will do is
take you inside American culture, serve you a slice of apple pie, and then show
you what’s under the crust.
Organized into twenty chapters, the author boldly answers questions like the
following. Why do many young Americans leave home when they turn eighteen years
old? What is American food? Why are so many Americans on diets but still
overweight? How do we judge if an American is just being friendly or truly being
a friend? Why don’t Americans learn another language?
You’ll find everything foreigners always want to know about Americans but are
afraid to ask. Actually, many of them have asked but no one has answered them
until now. In this book, the American author answers the real questions that
foreigners have asked her in the course of her international career.
From growing up to growing old, every important cultural topic is covered here,
including some controversial ones such as being independent from your family,
racial identity and religious practices which are themes usually missing in
guidebooks. Foreigners will feel 100% more comfortable being in the United
States with a book that uncovers and explains the hidden values of the American
people.
Americans who are curious about what foreigners want to know about the United
States and its people will find this book entertaining as well. You’ll laugh
when you see yourself described in its pages. At the same time, you’ll learn how
American attitudes and customs compare to those of other countries.
What’s Up America? will make readers, both Americans and foreigners alike, want
to learn more about the rest of the world.
