Spanish slang
I am trying to learn Spanish slang and idioms because I want my Spanish to sound more natural and understand every day conversation on the streets. I am learning Latin American Spanish because my students are from that part of the world and that is the Spanish most Spanish speakers in the USA. Native speakers, of course, would know best. Which resource would be the best? Gracias!

Answer

hi Jhon, I think the first one is the best as it has more latin-american context, but consider them as a reference of non formal and kind of aggressive Spanish,just be careful when using it.

hope it helps you.
