Here we will discuss how to know the difference between plain dealing and elaborate colloquial rhetoric. When language goes from formal to familiar too quick, and what it means in terms of getting your spot in the sun.
In this first lecture I will recite a poem written about colloquials, play a four part word game, and give examples of where you will likely hear colloquials used.
In this course we will endeavor to come to understand the subtleties of colloquial usages of speech, specifically American English. Informal lingo that sometimes leaves non-native English learners at a total loss will be deciphered from a member on the cusp of the baby boomer generation, and encompassing all the vintage nuances from the sixties, and seventies through present day and all points in between.
