Depends on how indepth you are wanting to go. But the best way to learn the translations without asking for a specific definition is to watch British television OR to read books by English authors. It helped me learn! Oh, and weird British movies will help alot because they tend to use less formal language. Compare it to learning to speak redneck--you either get it or ya don't. And yeah, I'm Southern LOL.
