on the street this is not the way they will say it so how will they say it instead of friend they will say dude dude dude is used to refer to a man for example jason was a cool dude it means jason was a cool and nice man instead of relax you may hear chill chill which means relax for example the bar has a pretty chill atmosphere the bar has a pretty chill atmosphere it means the vibe of the bar is very relaxed it's very chill instead of study hard you may hear the word cram
cram if you cram for an exam you study really hard for it in a very short period of time for example the night before the exam you have all your books and you start cramming for the exam she is cramming for her history exam now instead of do well especially for an exam you will hear the word ace ace if you ace a test or ace an exam it means you will do very well in that test or exam for example i aced my math exam i aced it it means i did very well now
look again at this paragraph and let's read it again this time using american slang hey dude chill you don't have to cram i'm sure you will ace the test tomorrow now this is american slang now look at this very short and simple paragraph last night's party was amazing we went crazy your friends were really cool now this is a normal paragraph however do you know what the slang version of this paragraph could be when something is amazing or really good or really enjoyable instead of amazing or good or enjoyable in american slang you can say
lit lit if something is lit it's very good for example that car is lit it means that core is very good another thing you can use instead of lit is dope dope which means cool which means very good for example whoa that music is dope and his dad music is very good instead of crazy in american slang you may hear the word nuts nuts which means crazy and out of your mind for example you are nuts if you think you can climb mount everest easily you are nuts if you think you can climb mount everest
easily you're crazy you're nuts now let's see the slang version of this paragraph last night's party was lit we went nuts your friends were really dope that's it and now time for another short and simple paragraph let's read it together i love my girlfriend she is beautiful and she is very stylish she is also very modest she has a great sense of style and she helps me wear things which are very attractive now this is a normal paragraph what is the slang version of this paragraph let's see together if someone is stylish or if something
is very stylish in american slang you might hear the word drip and say somebody or something has the drip if someone has the drip it means they are very stylish very fashionable for example i like susie because she has the drip she has the drip she's very stylish now if something or someone is quiet and in a way that is not attracting anyone's attention so it's like neutral without attracting attention you could use the word low-key low-key means quiet and without attracting attention for example the wedding ceremony was very low-key it means the wedding did
not attract that much attention and it was quiet maybe very small it was low-key in american slang instead of girlfriend or boyfriend you may hear the word bae bae b-a-e for example it's bad when bae does not reply to your texts it's bad when bae doesn't reply to your texts it means it's very bad that your girlfriend or boyfriend doesn't reply to your messages if something is very attractive or if someone is very attractive instead of attractive you may hear the word on fleek on fleek which is a slang for attractive for example that look
is very on fleek that look is very on fleek it means that look that dress that outfit is very attractive that's on fleek and now let's have another look at this paragraph this time let's make it slang i love my bae she is beautiful and she has the drip she's also very low-key she has a great sense of style and she helps me wear things which are on fleek easy peasy and now it is time for the last paragraph again i want to remind you if you want to receive the pdf of the summary of
this lesson all the slangs with all their examples and their meanings you simply have to give me your email address and that is for free click on this link go to my website enter your email address that's it now look at this paragraph i was studying last night but i was really bored so my friend suggested going to a bar i was so excited to dance and drink i really wanted a bottle of beer but when we got there the bar was quiet and empty now this is a very simple and normal text what is
the slang version of this text let's find out together another way to say study is to say hit the box to hit the books is the slang way of saying to study for example this weekend i have to hit the books because i have an exam coming up i have to hit the box because i have an exam coming up i have to study in american slang they don't usually use the word excited instead they say hyped hyped which means very excited about something for example i am really hyped about the new marvel movie i'm
really hyped about the new marvel movie i'm very excited about it now this one is a very interesting slang if you want to say that you want something really bad it means you want it so much you can say you are jonesing for it that's right if you are jonesing for something it means you really want to have it for example i'm jonesing for a cup of coffee right now it means i really want to have a cup of coffee i'm jonesing for it and finally the last slang of this lesson if a place is
quiet and empty you could say it's dead so if you say a place is dead it means it's very empty and quiet it's boring it's not lively it's dead for example the bar was really dead last night i didn't like it the bar was really dead it means it was very empty and very silent quiet it is especially used for bars and restaurants and now let's have a look at this paragraph and see the slang version for it i was hitting the box last night but i was really bored so my friend suggested going to
a bar i was hyped to dance and drink i was jonesing for a bottle of beer means i really wanted a bottle of beer but when we got there the bar was dead that's it i hope you've enjoyed the 15 slangs i've taught you in this lesson don't forget to practice don't forget to receive the summary of this lesson in the pdf file again i'm telling you you can click on this link go to my website enter your email address click subscribe you will receive all my lesson summaries for free and then you can use
