Boat People Jack W Bernstein

This book is not meant to demean, degrade, deride or any other "de" you can imagine. Instead, it's meant to elicit a smile or maybe even a laugh. From time to time, it's good to lighten up even about something as serious as the immigrants who have chosen America as their new country. Perhaps, if we can find humor in their attempts to use American expressions (idioms), we can become more light-hearted about the challenges they face in the process of adapting to a new language and customs in their chosen country. Of course, this book is not intended to generalize about the totality of American immigrants but only to the people I've presented here.
