🧠 Episode Summary

Welcome to a new episode of the Slow English Podcast, powered by Your English Toolbox.

Today we explore modern slang expressions nobody teaches you — the kind you hear on TikTok, YouTube, series, music, video games, and everyday conversations.

Textbooks rarely explain these.

Teachers almost never teach them.

But native speakers use them every day.

In this episode, Martin and Julia slow everything down and explain the five slang expressions you MUST recognize in today’s English:

• rizz / zero rizz
• no cap / cap
• deadass
• bet
• low-key / high-key

You’ll hear short dialogues, natural examples, and one final scene using all expressions together.

By the end, you’ll feel more confident understanding fast native English — especially Gen Z and 2025 slang.

📌 Understand slang you actually hear.

📌 Feel less lost in fast conversations.

📌 Learn real English that textbooks ignore.
