terms may emerge due to advancements in
technology or shifts in societal norms
● Slang refers to informal words, phrases, and
expressions that are often associated with a
particular social group or subculture
● Their rapid evolving nature is the challenge that
learners of a particular language face
Advanced expressions

Idioms the literal one
Add a sense of familiarity and authenticity, especially in a
Colloquialisms specific region or community
These are short, traditional sayings that convey a moral or
Proverbs practical lesson in a concise manner
Parallelism, repetition or alliteration are just some examples of
Rhetorical devices this category
Recently-coined words that have found their way into
Neologisms mainstream language
Words or expressions that create imagery, usually in the form of
Figurative language metaphors or similes

Some recommendations
Audiovisual content
Contrary to popular belief, watching movies, TV shows, and listening to music in the
target language can be beneficial when it comes to learning that language. It helps your
senses get used to it, and offers a way to experience actual casual speech found in
everyday situations

Persistence beats resistance

Dedicate regular time each day or week to practice the language. Try to make
language learning a part of your daily routine, whether it’s through flashcards, reading,
writing, or listening exercises
