When it comes to proper grammar, "Where you at?" ain't where it's at. A mother is concerned that her child will pick up such malapropisms as "Where you at?" and "My mother and me went to the store."

However, for those formative years of language learning, Grant recommends the book Learner English by Michael Swan. This is part of a complete episode.
