Snap means "Shoot" or "Dang," and is used as an exclamation of dismay and shock. It is often said out loud but may also be used in text or online. Snap is often seen with "Oh" as in "Oh Snap!"
In my region of England (Yorkshire) snap also means food.
Everyday uses are "to snap at someone" as in be angry at someone. Another use is to "snap under pressure". And a third would be as an exclamation of surprise when two things are the same. I think it's used as a slang term to comment when someone gets back at somebody else.

Hi Fechos , yes you can . It would mean the same as you flipped out , lost it , went off . So if someone SNAPS it basically means that they had finally had enough of a certain person and or situation and either put them in their place (told them off ) or in some cases even attacked and hurt the target person .
Snap means same, equal, or the same. It is used as a Noun or Verb.
You can damn or flip depending on the expression you will be making
Snap is a slang to replace words like 'crap' or 'hell' or even more offensive terms. You can use it when something doesn't go your way, to replace "Aw, man!" or you can use it as phrase of exclamation to replace "Oh wow!"
Snap used for expression or excitement . So in slang language you would say oh wow! ,oh really excited! Hope it's help you
Depends on the context Ie another term for snap can be "freak out" Use in a sentence: The man was ready to "snap" after the accident!
You can use snap to mean ooh noo… for example ooh snap I shouldn’t have done that…..so in other words it’s can be used to show regret in a situation ☝️
hi fechos.. well yes U can use snap as a slang expression most favorably in a positive way, for example U can say that " I can master my lessons in one snap", which means " I can master my lessons immediately or in an instant Hope this will give U a little idea

Not so genius, but this has worked with my Asian and Latino students: Substitute all "Th-" in words with a "D-", as it is an easier starting point e.g. instead of "The", ask them to say De(almost like a form of pidgin english: de boi VS the boy). Its a matter of throat to tongue, where sounds with "T" and "D" are easier to begin with and then you will gradually progress to the "Th-" sounds as the find confindence and comfort. You could always tell them to pretend they are blowing out candles on a birthday cake; and for the "Th" sound their tongue should gently touch their teeth, like in words like "Thin" or "This". Have them practice the not so elated soft "Th" sound-- its like their tongue is having a short siesta on their teeth! Such a mental jounery and lots of creativity will get you through a lot of pronounciation hurdles.

The biggest challenge I faced while learning English was understanding and using different tenses correctly. It took time to get used to the various rules and exceptions.
