Slang words are not in the dictionary. You just find it talking to people. But you can be fluent in a particular language and don't understand some words that somebody just made up. I didn't have so much luck look for them on the internet. So, I ask my husband, who is American, to help us to understand it a little bit closer. Come with me to welcome Aaron and let's learn together!

I thought my accent was a problem and I will never communicate perfectly because of it. It's not true! Now, I'm reconciling with it and even change the name of this podcast! My Accent is all over me, all over us as second language learners. Let's enjoy this ride together, full of pride in being bilingual! 

Words that spell exactly the same but have different meanings. It's tiresome just to think about it, right? For sure! I have some examples on this episode and some free stuff to learn about swear words and their origins.

Tongue twisters are good to improve the pronunciation in any language you're trying to learn. Even when you're a native speaker, they help to make you say things faster. I picked 5 difficult tongue twisters that I like and tried to pronounce them correctly and as fast as I can. It's SO DIFFICULT!!!! Just hit the play button and let's laugh together!
