Should you use slang?
In English, we use a lot of slang. But should you use it? In this video, I will explain what exactly slang is. I will discuss the pros and cons of using slang. Slang can be a lot of fun to learn and use, but if we use it in the wrong way, it can be embarrassing. Before learning and using new slang, you should watch this video. Some slang is outdated, and though it’s good to understand what it means, it’s best not to use it. I will also teach you more recent examples of slang in this video includingvoluntold, woke, snowflake, gucci, and tea. Learn what these new expressions mean, then take the quiz at the end to practice your new vocabulary.

thanks emma
Thanks for the quiz!
Thanx, Emma. It’s lit. Keep it up. Take care and everything’s gonna be dope.
Hello, to all my teachers and team of engvid. I hope everything is fine at your end.
I have a question about articles. I’m always confused about them.
I have seen all the lesson about it available here. But still having trouble about when to use ‘an’ and when not. I’m clear that we have to take care about countable nouns and uncountable nouns. Before countable nouns we have to use ‘an’ only when they are singular too. But my question is about vowel sound alphabets. Are we still gonna use ‘an’ for them which starts from (a,e,i,o,u) weather they are not countable? Or should we only care about vowel sound words but with the countable noun? Which is right and which is wrong? I’m confused have seen all lessons available here but still confused. I’ll be very glad if you could help me. Thanks you and keep doing what you guys are doing. Stay safe. Looking forward to hearing from you as soon as you can.

Great lesson Emma! I didn’t know any of these slangs
Thanks Emma!!! Very interesting ,
Very useful. I recommend https://www.urbandictionary.com/ . That’s like another dialect. Slang is a real challenge if you are among young+low class folk.

Is it true that slang is actually an abbreviation of street language? Or it’s an independent word?

good citizens.
In the question number 8 my answer is (was) No. My support is pay attention in the meaning (explanation from the teacher- professor ) in the pros(6) and cons (8) that have (has) description, because she (her) was clear enough that is up to you to make a decision in using slang
( as singular person) very good, because many people are causing very large damage (in psychiatry) called structure environment , please let me remind you many people has(have) different type of abnormal behavior including diseases .
This class-lesson is a good contribution in (for, evidence) in diagnostic in nursing called:
communication readiness for enhanced.
