Jimmy Gyasi Boateng Announces Release of ‘What’s Up?’
Pawtucket, R.I. (PRWEB) December 20, 2013 -- In “What’s Up?: Vocabulary for Those New to the United States, Volume II” (published by iUniverse), author Jimmy Gyasi Boateng’s new vocabulary book, readers are invited to learn the primary language used in the United States.
“It can be hard enough for a native speaker, but it’s even more daunting for immigrants,” says Boateng, a native of Ghana who has been living in the United States since 1978.
Within “What’s Up?,” readers learn how to use certain words and phrases to help them overcome problems that confront many secondary speakers of English.
This guidebook will help readers discover how to:
• use slang properly and at the right times
• adapt to a new style of speaking English
• decipher hidden meanings behind certain words and phrases.
“You can find out exactly what people are saying and know how you can join the conversation after reading my book,” says Boateng. “By understanding the language and employing it properly, you can start down a path that will lead to success.”
