English down under and up over is the culmination of years of studying, learning, and communicating in English, which created the seed for writing this book. It is not a textbook, but a laugh-out-loud stories peppered with idioms, oxymora, and correlated jokes. It is wittily written to illustrate the importance of knowing the multiple meanings of words, the variety of spellings, and the culture, making a difference between understanding or being lost in translation.
