Mr. Bro: Real English Outside the Textbook

Real English that native speakers use endlessly beyond textbooks, and that fills Netflix, TikTok, Instagram, and Shorts. “It was so fun it didn’t feel like studying, but before I knew it my English had improved so much!” “I used to get wide-eyed even when making eye contact with a native speaker, but now I greet them first with ‘What’s up?’ and keep the conversation going.” Mr. Bro, an English-teaching influencer who gathered 160,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok with hip, hot expressions and witty short videos, has poured 14 years of struggle in America into this book. Learn the mysterious exclamations natives make—“Um... more~ yucky! Pew~?”—natural reactions inserted into conversation such as “No way? Right on! Sure thing!”, body language that can sometimes do more work than a hundred words, cryptic abbreviations and current English slang encountered on social media, and various swear words and racist expressions you should recognize and avoid. These are the real, beyond-the-textbook English expressions native speakers use every day and that you see and use in online chats, TV dramas, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Learning a language rests on understanding its culture. Some things make sense only when you know American culture and ways of thinking: why Americans say this in a certain situation, or why they react a certain way to something you said or did. Memorizing English expressions alone cannot solve that. The book also includes the author’s thoughts on American society and people, based on firsthand experience, and is recommended to those who want to learn the culture as well as English. Free MP3s recorded like real conversations by professional American voice actors are included.
