Pronunciation Problems?
Do you sometimes worry that English-speakers don't understand you when you speak English? Well, you shouldn't worry too much about it since it appears that some English speakers have a hard time explaining themselves when they are native speakers of the language! You can see what I mean by reading an article from the Metro newspaper in Britain which involves a misunderstanding between various people and a girl from South London who wanted a cab (taxi) but received a cabinet! A bit of a problem, innit?Read the article to find out just what happened.

Good article about slang.
Maybe we could learn a little bit about slang in class. I think it would be useful in some cases.
Thank you very much for your comment, Juan. I will try to put more things on the blog related to slang and regional dialects.
As far as class is concerned, you could speak to your teacher and ask them if they would mind introducing some slang into lessons.
