I beleive that for non-native taechers and students rading some short texts with slangs could be extremely useful. I myself would like learning some of them, and spend 5- 10 minutes of each class teaching them. For those who have not very new dictionaries the slangs could be translated in the text.

The problem with that, though, is that slang varies so widely from region to region. Whose slang would you teach?

We can setup a forum for that, I've had it requested a number of times.. Kit: Could be all slang (keep each region mentioned in the individual post)

Sounds like a great idea. It will be interesting to know the regional differences.
