Living in the United States is a clear, friendly cultural orientation handbook designed to help newcomers understand not only how to live in the U.S., but how to feel at home here. The book is divided into three practical sections.

Section 1 focuses on essential survival information--everyday topics like money, housing, food, healthcare, transportation, safety, and navigating daily life systems--so readers can function confidently and independently.

Section 2 explores U.S. culture and values, offering insight into communication styles, social expectations, education, work life, diversity, and the "unwritten rules" that shape American interactions.

Section 3 broadens the picture with an accessible overview of the nation's geography, history, environment, and technology, helping readers understand the context of the country they now live in.

Written in clear language and designed for English learners, this handbook supports practical living, cultural understanding, and successful adjustment. It's an invaluable resource for classrooms, community programs, citizenship preparation, and anyone guiding newcomers through the American experience.
