In Episode #41, my good friend Liz Johnson and I planned on talking about 10 AMERICAN ENGLISH SLANG WORDS that we use on a daily basis. After all is said and done, we ended up sharing about 20 very common words and phrases! That's a lot of slang. Notice how I didn't write slang with an "s". Slang with an "s" doesn't exist. It is uncountable. Learn slang. Learn slang words.The examples shared in the audio are real and personal and we hope that you will learn how you can insert them into your everyday life. My mom (58 years old) gave her seal of approval on these words as well; they can be used by all age groups.Get the Free E-Book: 101 American English Slang Words**Premium Content** (formerly called the Classroom)Each episode is much more than just the audio.
