American Slank.

I think I know why you are wondering about slang. You want to understand what is being said, that is normal. I try not to be too attracted to slang though you know fully well you will be using it without thinking too much about it. I’m a Canadian, not an American though we share quite a bit of history we have more British in our words and of course French also known as francophones who speak french but sound like this.... “Me, there, I go now to the gaz station,” stuff like that....if they attempt to do the englash. Our slang is somewhat different than the Americans. You might for example, find a "Newfie" sayin’ “boy” at the end of the sentence but it has no racial meaning just the way they talk. I personaly use the eh pronounced A at the end sometimes. Just a habit. Slang stuff, a chesterfield is a “couch”, “a loony” or “a buck” is a dollar, we eat beaver tails when out skating but if a male starts talking about your beaver or box you will find they are talking about female body parts, to step in a puddle or snow over your boot is called a “soaker”, if you want to order a pizza with everything on it just say “all dressed”, to be cheated by a incorrect money exchange is said “to be ripped off”. I guess it is kind of funny those slang terms, eh?

Firstly, welcome to the Lot dear. Basically, most of the US english was a UK slang. Most of the US movies use slang language.If you got your english from school, You will totally get lost. Most of my vocab, I got from movies.Sometime, I get confuse with normal langue.

I'm a bit late on the welcoming, but I still want to welcome you to Mylot community. Anyway, I see that you meant SLANG. I'm not that good at it, but I believe that it would be better to learn the language fluently first and then eventually learn slang in the process. I know, for a fact that reading books and watching movies helped me, so I believe that it could help you as well. It will not be easy but if you enjoy what you are doing, I think it will not be difficult either. Good luck n your endeavor and I hope to be hearing more from you here.

hai zaahro..iam indonesian too like you.. but iam not student of english like you.. of course i want to know too like you

What do you mean America slank? Maybe you mean, 'slang'... I am not very good with American slang either, I just know some by watching American movies.. But you can also search fro them in the internet. Welcome to mylot zaahro.

slang language is very useful when we have communication in English especially among youngsters, sometimes, when we speak we don't care much in the grammar as long as we understand each other, that will be enough. But, then, understanding the right and appropriate English is more important than just practicing slang language.So that, I keep on studying English...
