Subject: American Language and Culture



Can someone suggest useful texts for new international graduate students

that would introduce them to the realities of American English (idioms,

conversation rituals in various settings, maybe pronunciation) and American

culture (students are expected to attend class, people wear deodorant,

Christians believe such and such, punctuality is important, etc.)?
