American Slang and Idioms
The struggle to adjust to college or university life in the US is not only material and emotional for international students, but also linguistic.
Campuses have their own language: a confection of catchphrases, slang and punchlines.
Lording over these are certain perennial English idioms that define the US college experience, such as to:
• Play hooky: an undergraduate specialty, this means to skip class
• Hit the books: the opposite of playing hooky – studying
• Ace the exam: to pass an exam without difficulty (thanks to hitting the books!)
FYI, ASAP, Beat Around the Bush, What’s Up?….Huh? As with any language, there are slang phrases and idioms that a non-native speaker wouldn’t know.
When you attend this workshop, our American expert will teach you tons of College slangs & American English idioms and why they are used.
What Our Clients Think About Us?
The workshop was very interesting. Thanks to Siena, we had concrete examples and she was eager to share her own experience. I love the warm welcome and the very intimate (cozy) ambiance. Jean-Luc (French student at UCLA Extension)
