Is there a test for slang words?

Answer 1

I do not know about tests as such for English language countries.

In Norway however there is.

At higher grades we get a certain amount of English idioms to explain.

Some teachers make a lot of effort to teach us the spoken English rather that the sterile "Queens English". I suppose there is a time and a place for everything, even language.

My English is still not perfect. I make a lot of spelling mistakes and tend to bind together words that are supposed to be separate. English grammar is still not perfect.

Even so. Most people do not have any problems understanding me. I don't have any problems understanding English/American/Irish/scottish/Australian people.

This I contribute to one spechial teacher that really caught my interest towards the English language. The English language is a thrill to work with. It can be used in a multitude of ways and I even find it easier than my own native language (Norwegian) when it comes to explaining certain things.

I must say that this teacher of mine did also try to teach me French. Much to his dismay, he failed. Or put in another perspective. I failed. lol

English is a fabulous language. The slang words and espechally the idioms add substance to it.

A lot of teachers all over the world should pay more attention to the slang words and actual spoken language. It is of course good to know the proper words and the proper grammar but to know part of the real spoken language adds the joy to the language.

There is only one part of the world of "slang" English I dislike. F-Words.

Regards.

While there isn't a standardized test specifically for slang words, you can assess someone's knowledge of slang through informal conversation or quizzes that include slang terms. It's subjective and can vary based on region and generation.
