Being American Married to a Brit: An Amusing Guide for Anglo-American Couples Divided by a Common Language and Culture

By Brian Sterling-Vete and Helen Renee Wuorio

What could possibly go wrong when an American girl falls in love with a British man? After all, we both speak English... don't we? As it turns out, that shared language can lead to some wonderfully quirky, eye-opening, and laugh-out-loud misunderstandings.

As dating quickly became engagement, and engagement became marriage, everyday conversations turned into a delightful roller-coaster of confusion, discovery, and comedy. Simple chats sometimes left me staring blankly, wondering what on earth my British gentleman had just said-despite every word being perfectly familiar. It was as though we were speaking entirely different languages using exactly the same vocabulary.

Along the way, I rediscovered the English language all over again: its shared roots, its surprising differences, and the endless opportunities for good-natured humour that still punctuate our married life. The result is a warm, witty, and highly relatable celebration of transatlantic love and linguistic chaos.

With interest in Anglo-American culture at an all-time high, this book is packed with amusing anecdotes, playful observations, and fun trivia, making it a joy to read whether you are part of a transatlantic couple or simply curious about the charming absurdities of our "common" language.

Written for-and dedicated to-all transatlantic couples who have ever found themselves divided, baffled, and thoroughly entertained by English on both sides of the Atlantic, this book proves that sometimes the best misunderstandings are the ones that bring us closer together.
