The other possibility is tuning in to something like BBC news and repeating what is said. The internet should make this relatively easy.
But it gets boring. I know it's important, especially if I wanna be a professional gurl;
But I'm still a lil childish xD I like to say things that have a meaning that I understand.
I.e - We say "Skanty" to mean something or someone cheap/poor/shady, but it's not really the meaning of the word.
"He's skanty" (He's Shady/Poor)
"He's Skanting" (He's Struggling)
"He's Skantin-Me" (He's Stealing from Me)
But Fear not! I am quite adapt, I can so modestly say, at written Standard English
Just talking in it... it's just not as simple lol. One of these Gay Days
