You will want to put your English thoughts into words so we have organized the slang in the free bonus program by giving you the English formulation and then the foreign language equivalents. It is in two main sections:

1. Phrases organized by FUNCTIONS (general ideas you wish to convey).

2. Individual WORDS organized alphabetically in English word order.

The free mild slang preview here contains the first function for describing people and part of the individual word list.

Functions

You can click or scroll down to entries under the following headings in this section which are then listed by key word in alphabetical order:

Describing people
Describing situations
Making complaints
Making statements
Questioning
Telling people to do things

Our comments about literal meanings of translations are preceded by G or F. Sometimes a slang expression does not exist in all three languages so one of the translations may be in quite normal language. The phrases given are our favorites and are not necessarily the most widely used - though all are definitely genuine and current. Stressed syllables are underlined.
