Well, I suspect there have been many attempts to translate and publish such material, but they are just that, 'attempts'... many of the authors doesn't even fully understand the language themselves!
I have done some research for you though and was lucky to find at least 6 relatively good references, three of them I really like and I think should help you very well:
None of them can adequately capture all the expressions we use, but I believe they did a good job capturing or explaining some of the most popular terms and slangs.
OK, now I've provided you with enough tools, go ahead and learn the language - it will be much easier than you may have guessed.
Plus the new knowledge will come in quite handy especially if you are coming here for a vacation!
