Learn English. American English is, for the most part, just the same as any other dialect of English. Apart from some phrases, colloquialisms, dialects, and spellings, most of the language is the same as the English spoken in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and elsewhere around the globe. There are a few significant local differences, which leads some people to say that these groups are "separated by a common language." But in reality, most of the words and phrases are the same. If you know English and understand non-American English speakers, too, for the most part, you will do fine in the United States.

Listen for accents, dialects, and slang. American English is spoken differently in each region of the U.S. Listen closely to pick up local phrases and colloquialisms, especially in social settings. You will begin to notice the difference when you travel from one region to another.

Know some American English phrases. You'll learn as you go, but here is a short list of American English, just to get you acquainted.
"Awesome" and "cool" are used to describe something great or positive or popular, more so than in other countries, and both words can be used as a positive reaction to something someone tells you, too.
"What's up?" or "Sup" for short. This phrase is used to ask someone what they're doing, how they are, and as a general greeting. It is not socially acceptable in formal occasions, but it's fine to use casually amongst friends. It's most frequently used by young men.
"Hanging out" is spending time somewhere or with someone. It can be used in describing or arranging one particular event ("Do you want to hang out?") or more generally to describe a habit ("I hang out at the mall a lot"). It's a phrase often used by young people to describe how they spend their spare time and socialize, often without one particular activity or aim. It can also be used to describe time spent around the house or doing nothing in particular ("What are you up to?" / "Not much; just hanging out").
"Y'all" is a contraction of "You all", the second person plural mode of directly addressing a group of people. It is used primarily in the Southern states, but is acceptable in other regions.
Soda, Pop, Cola, Soda pop, Coke, etc. Popular fizzy soft drinks like: Fanta, Coca-Cola, Sierra Mist, and Dr. Pepper, may be referred to using these different names in different parts of America.
Know what English words won't be understood. If you've studied British English in the past, realize that not all of the words and phrases will be identical in the United States. If you use British English words, dialect, or spellings in these situations, you might not be understood. Learn the American versions instead:
"Restroom/bathroom" instead of "toilet/lavatory/loo/WC"
"Elevator" instead of "lift"
"Trunk" instead of "boot"
"Freeway" instead of "motorway"
"Sweater" instead of "jumper"
Pants for trousers, not underwear
"Vest" instead of "waistcoat" (the one worn under clothing is often just called an undershirt instead)
"Sneakers" instead of "trainers"
"Diaper" instead of "nappy"
"Swimsuit" or "bathing suit" instead of "swimming costume"
"Vacation" instead of "holiday" (holidays tend to mean national bank holidays only, or the holiday season around Christmas)
"French fries" or "fries" instead of "chips"
"Bag of chips" instead of "packet of crisps"
"Gasoline" instead of "petrol", "gas station" instead of "filling station" or "petrol station"
"Truck" instead of "lorry"
"Flashlight" instead of "torch"
"Color" instead of "colour"
"Favorite" instead of "favourite"
"Popsicle" instead of "ice lolly"
"Tire" instead of "tyre"
Crib instead of "cot"
"Hood" instead of "bonnet".
"Carnival" instead of "funfair".
