    friends,

    1. we must not forget that "slangs" are part of langague! if we want to learn a new language, we are supposed to learn all the variations - the formal and the informal ones! this is language: an alive organism. It changes over time and under social circumstances - social classe, age, genre, communcative situations and so on...

    2. informal language is not ungrammatical. of course, it has grammar. the point is that its not the formal one: considered the pattern. but of course its grammar. if it was not, we could not understand what they say! this would be ungrammatical, something like: ALINE MY IS NAME. see?

    3. princess, tks for sharing your experience. i dont agree with all points, but each learner has his own style, yeah? :)

    hugs from brazil,

    aline

    Well, first of all: only being a native does not alow a person to teach her mother tongue - if it was like that, any person could be a teacher of english in USA. For teaching languages, you must study - in a technical course ou a university - subjects as "linguistics", "teaching methodologies", "learning development" and so on - besides being fluent on the skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening) of the language you are going to teach. If you are already a language teacher, it wont be so difficult to find a job here. In Brazil, there are many English Courses where you can leave your curriculum. Look on the internet and you will certainly find some. Type "cursos de ingles em salvador" in maplink.uol.com.br/ - if you want to work in Salvador - Bahia. There are also schools and universities where u can teach. Good Luck! Hugs. Aline :)
