ENGLISH SLANG

When we're learning English in highschool or any other school lessons, we learn vocabulary, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. But what we don't learn is English slang. Slang is the vocabulary that people use on the street and in their daily life. You'll find it useful, we promise, because many of them are in songs you listen everyday.
