WARNING: This book contains strong language which some may find offensive. This is not a book for children. You have studied English for years. You know the grammar and a good range of vocabulary, and have no problem conversing with second-language speakers. But then there are the natives: Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, and of course, the British.What language are they speaking?If conversations with mother-tongue speakers leave you confused, then this is the book for you. With a focus on British English, Bad English unlocks the secrets of colloquial language, revealing the phrases natives use to express feelings, tell stories, complain about stuff, insult each other, avoid work - and above all, make each other laugh.With this book, you will have the power to:• Break through the language barrier with words and expressions spoken by British people today, along with activities to memorise them.• Immerse yourself in topics overlooked by textbooks, including phrases to complain, insult, date, deal with work problems and entertain friends.• Understand once and for all how bad language works, with definitions, a swear word strength key, use-cases and word combinations.• Perfect your pronunciation with our guide to soft syllables, which natives omit for sentence flow.• Laugh! (hopefully) with pages of comic illustrations, bringing context to expressions and your new vocabulary to life.
