My thoughts on slang
I don’t think people who use slang are lazy. In my mother tongue (Hungarian) sometimes I don’t even notice if I use slang words. The only time I am aware of using them is when I use slang I have learnt from my 18-year-old son, because I do it on purpose, I am so amazed how creative youngsters are to come up with these expressions.
One reason why I have signed up for this course is that I want to speak more natural English, which would mean to include more varied slang and colloquial phrases in my speech.
I am quite certain when I should not use slang words, e.g. in any kind of formal communication situations (letters, speeches, academic writing).
“In your opinion, do you need to use this kind of language to communicate with non-native speakers?” It depends on the level of English they speak. Of course, my main aim is to be understood, to get the message through.
