About this course
We will dive into the world of colloquial language and ‘slang’, in particular British slang. We’ll discuss whether a learner of English should learn slang and colloquial language, and how it can help you improve your comprehension of natural language.
You’ll watch several clips and practise using typical words and expressions that British speakers commonly use. You’ll have hands-on practice in order to get to grips with the new vocabulary.
You will learn how to make your pronunciation sound more natural by omitting vowels from certain adjectives, which in turn will help you develop your comprehension of native speakers.
Plus, I’ll introduce you to an effective self-study method for learning new vocabulary.
