A lot of Japanese learning books teach that はい means yes and いいえ means no, but from what I've learned that not really true.

What confuses English speakers is that sometimes instead of answering はい you answer いいえ , i think thats when you use a sentence in the negative.

But i haven't found any lessons on the internet about this, can someone give me some exampels on how to answer like that. Its really confusing to me (esp with the lack of information I found on the internet).

Thanks
