Features: The foreign languages we learn in the classroom are mostly standardized, which differ from everyday spoken language. To help foreign language learners acquire authentic language, the author has introduced this Street Language series from the renowned publishing company John Wiley & Sons, covering French (slang, idioms), Spanish (slang, idioms), and Italian (slang), totaling five books. It is hoped to assist students studying abroad in quickly overcoming the language barrier and integrating into local life. The slang and idioms in the books are mostly not covered in general textbooks but are frequently used in daily conversation. The purpose of publishing this series is to let people know these expressions, so that they can respond appropriately when they hear them. As the author mentions in the book's introduction: Your goal is to recognize and understand these expressions. Once you fully grasp and master them, you can try using them. This will greatly enhance your language skills.
