English Slang Pronunciation Guide

The English Slang Pronunciation Guide is now available to help English as a Second Language students sound more "American" when they speak English.

The English Slang Pronunciation Guide is written for intermediate and advanced learners of English. If you have already passed your TOEFL test or achieved a TOEIC score of 680, then this slang resource is for you. When you are done with English grammar and formal public speaking, it's time to have some fun. Learn how Americans really speak at home, at the office, and at the shopping mall.

Each entry contains a definition of the slang word, a funny video showing how the word is used, and the English text used in the video. Enjoy!
