#12 Decoding Gen Z slang (advanced vocabulary and pronunciation)
In this episode, we're diving into the wild world of Gen Z lingo and slang. You know, terms like "No cap", "Sus", "Slay", "Cheugy"… yeah, I know. I have to admit, being a millennial myself, most of these slangs and expressions are so weird to me, but you just can't escape them at the moment.
Gen Z lingo can be so confusing to understand, even for native speakers, and some terms are not straightforward at all in their pronunciation and real-world use in conversation.
So, I'm gonna break down 30 of the most popular Gen Z slangs that everyone is using, talking about, confused about, or cringing hard about. Grab a cuppa and enjoy!

#06 Topic: British slang (advanced)
This episode focuses on British slang for advanced learners. You will learn British slang in the context of news headlines - what do they mean in every day English? How do I use them? How do I pronounce them?
❤️ Share this episode with a friend, if you think they might enjoy it too. Remember, the key to retaining all the vocabulary you learned today is to put it in practice.
Before you forget everything all the new things you learned, text your friend, write a tweet or an email using one or a few of these slangs. After that, put your pronunciation to practice too! You could rehearse a few phrases at home to use in conversation at work, school or with your family. Record yourself speaking or send voice notes to a friend who is also learning English so you can keep each other motivated.
🙋🏻♀️ Want to get some feedback from me? Send me a voice note on Instagram @britishenglishpractice using a few of the slangs you learnt here and I’ll get back to you!
