Hi Herbal, there sure is a lot of slang in all languages and in English as well. Have a look at these 2 most popular sites with Italki members who have recommended them on many occasions: www.urbandictionary.com and www.manythings.org/slang/ I hope this helps you out. Good luck!

I disagree! Slang terms are not only related to "vulgar domains" as you call them. Slang terms (or colloquialisms as they are properly known) are common expressions that do not fit in with the usual structure of a language. They arise from a variety of social, professional and recreational realms. The reason to learn them is obvious. If you learn a language from a book, class or on the internet, you are going to learn the 'proper' usage of a language. But when you travel to other countries you will find the people around you do not speak like this at all! Herbal, to answer your question, yes there are a lot of slang terms in english and the best way of learning them is by talking to native english speakers from the country that you wish to visit. So, if you are learning english to converse with people from London, then speak to us londoners. But if you want to visit scotland, you would do well to spend some time talking to native scots. That way you will become familiar with the local terms. Remember to that most english speaking people will avoid using slang terms once they realise that you are not a 'native'. Good luck Andrew

you should go to brooklyn and live there. not only do you learn the slang but you'd also create your first hiphop album.. for other means, online reference should fit best since it's kept updated based on trends and social dynamics.

Slang usages particularly relate to in vulgar domains such as violence, crime, drugs, & sex...... Why do you want to learn Slangs? In fact, colloquial vocabularies are different from Slang words.
