Need to quickly learn British street lingo? Finally, the answer to this problem has arrived. Just refer to this life-saving A-Z list of the most common words and phrases and thank me later.
Moving to London to study? Know someone who is relocating to the UK? Are you just residing in the area and can’t understand a word of what urban youth are saying? Are you a tourist who wants to know what sounds are coming out of the mouths of the people of London? Or perhaps you just love all there is to British culture.
No longer will you have to keep asking a cool dude to repeat what they said to the extent they think you’re simple. This is the perfect book which contains all your essential urban slang words and phrases often heard in youth culture.
For people who are not hip or young enough, the dialect sounds like a foreign language with unrecognisable words and code-like phrases. Multicultural London English is a dialect spoken mostly by working-class young Londoners. It has roots from Caribbean migrants but is now widespread. The dialect is spreading so fast that most people, particularly in England, will be speaking it.
The language has developed to include a unique vocabulary with dialect that can be utterly mystifying to outsiders. This mini illustrated ‘dictionary’ of sayings and explanations contains the perfect light hearted selection of common words and expressions.
This a brilliant gift for everyone including your mum, dad, grandparents, aunties, uncles. Great gift idea as a stocking filler, joke present, secret santa, birthday gift for friends, colleagues, tourists or just a something to make someone smile.
