Conversational American English: An Illustrated Guide to Everyday American English Conversations by Richard Spears.

Every language has common and commonly used ways of expressing even the most commonplace requests, requests, or responses. Some of these expressions are idioms or idiomatic. Others are perfectly understandable and literally speak English, but people unfamiliar with this language may find it difficult to formulate them in typical and traditional ways. This book, based on the NTC's Dictionary of Everyday Expressions of American English, is a collection of nearly 5,000 such expressions, grouped under 464 topics, listed in 11 major categories of social interaction. New to this guide are extensive illustrations that place multiple expressions in visual context, making it easier to understand and remember.

Assume if an American came up to you and said, "Hi, how are you?"

How do you answer this?

You can think back to what you learned about English vocabulary and grammar and reply, "I'm fine, thank you." Of course it isn't, but it doesn't sound quite right.

This is because the American speaks conversational English.
