Sound Native Hi I am learning Spanish and I'm doing fairly well with it, but it's just that when I speak it, I sound way to formal, too proper, and I was wondering if there were any ways to sound more like a native. Could someone give me a list of idioms or words that are more commonly used than others? Thanks in advance.

I agree with @Nes, you should choose a country and learn their specific idioms and slangs, for example here is a list of idioms in spanish, http://www.fluentu.com/spanish/blog/spanish-idioms/ but from this list I've only heard half of those here in Mexico # 3, 5, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15 Exito!! Saludos

Creo que la mejor manera de mejorar eso es practicarlo hablando con alguien. Saludos!

in Peru. for example you could say when you greet to someone "hola hermano, hola mano(informal), I don't know mmm when you have a girlfriend you'd say "flaca" or when you say to woman young too. and more just I dont know very good that matter

También depende de como quieras escucharte. En otras palabras, quieres tener un acento de mexico,colombia, España ,Argentina? Y después si puedes escoger expresiones más informales o slang de otros países.
