Features: The foreign language we learn in the classroom is mostly standard language, which is different from the language used in daily life. To help foreign language learners master authentic language, the author introduced this Street Talk 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 life. The purpose of publishing this series is to let people know these usages, so that when they hear these expressions, they can respond appropriately. As the author mentions in the book's introduction: Your goal is to recognize and understand these expressions. Once you fully understand and master them, you can try using them. This will add a lot of color to your language.
