English
This is the true story of a young man who, upon college graduation, left his
Pittsburgh home to become an English teacher in Seoul, South Korea.
In a city of over 11 million he couldn't read or understand a word of the language,
and he didn't know a single soul. American English is a fascinating, honest, and
often humorous account of how one man chose to navigate Korean society.
His journey includes visiting the tense Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the border of the
two Koreas; teaching English with no prior experience; drinking and eating
Korean-style, trying to observe proper etiquette; relationships with Korean women
and friendships with students; eating live octopus, dog stew and other exotic cuisine;
suffering tear-gas and the aftermath of a student riot in Central Seoul; learning
Korean; and exploring the seamy side of Seoul's nightlife. American English is both
a memoir and an intimate portrait of the real Seoul.
