Thanks @Antonella – well expressed.
I think if you aren’t sure if the context is right for using slang yourself, always safer not to use it or to take your cue from the person speaking (i.e. if he/she isn’t using slang, best not to use it yourself.)
As you say, if you want to understand native speakers fluently, there’s no getting away from it.
note: this phrase needs a little tidy up!
