Lit means something exciting, excellent or impressive.
Bae - a term of endearment for a romantic partner, short for babe or baby
Slay- to do something exceptionally well or look extremely fashionable 

What are some examples of English slang? 😁

There are quite a number of English slang but, I will mention only a few.
1. Dude (a friendly way to address someone especially a male friend.
2. Chill (to relax or to take it easy)
3. Cool (to express approval or appreciation)
4. Lit (used to describe something that's fun or exciting)
5. Buddy (a friendly term for friend or acquaintance)

Wonky means unsteady. " The table had a wonky leg." One of the table legs was shorter than the others and it made the table unsteady.

I'm British, so I love British slang. A couple of my real favourites are:

"To have a butcher's (at something)" Let's have a butcher's = To have a look (at something). It comes from Cockney Rhyming slang ("butcher's hook" rhymes with the word "look").

"In the wee small hours" comes from Scotland (part of the UK) and means  very very early in the morning (2:00 a.m.-4:00 a.m. for example. Wee in Scottish English means very small.

Dosh, which means money. "Got any spare dosh I can borrow?"

"Good Old Blighty" an affectionate nickname that the British give to the UK, especially when abroad. 

Rizz is a slang word that seems to be trending at the moment. To have "rizz" simply means that you have the ability to charm or seduce someone.

Hi, I'm British, but have been living in the beautiful land of Botswana for over 35 years. My wife (who's also British) and I retired about 6 years ago. To fulfill a secret lifetime ambition as well as to stay active in a fun way, I retrained as an English teacher. Wildlife, travel and rugby are my great passions in life, and living in Botswana allows me to pursue all three at the same time! Oh, and the great weather also means a healthy outdoor lifestyle. I'm now a bit old to play rugby, but I'll always find time to watch a game. 
I grew up living all around the world. Living in places such as Cyprus, Hong Kong, Belize and Thailand in my childhood, has made me addicted to travelling. My wife and I have been to places  like India, Nepal, Guatemala...the list goes forever on. Foreign travel is a great way to broaden the mind and understanding of our fellow human beings. I truly believe everyone should travel if they can; it would solve so many problems in the world.

If you are reading this the chances are that you have been studying English for some time, but you still cannot actually speak or use English. It's not you, it has been the way you have been taught! Schools  have been using a method of language teaching which has been proven to be the worst way to teach, as it emphasizes learning grammar and uncontextualized vocabulary from a book.  YOU'VE STUDYING ENGLISH, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN LEARNING  ENGLISH. It's like trying to learn how to swim by reading about it in a book, but never getting into the water and ACTUALLY SWIMMING.
My teaching method is completely different. After taking a placement test, I will tailor make a complete course for you. We will begin learning how to "Learn English with Our Ears". Listening  and speaking are the KEYS to  being  fluent in English. My lessons are conversation based and are designed to be fun. When you're relaxed and having fun, you learn more and you learn faster. It's that simple.

I have had the privilege of teaching at a local school, offline to toddlers for a period of one year. I have really grown to be an independent teacher by finding ways to navigate through different students despite their level of the English language. I understand that each student has strengths and weaknesses as far as teaching English is concerned that is why I incorporated different methods of teaching such as visual aids, music, teacher based learning and student-based learning to accommodate all students and ensure that their journey of learning English is a smooth one. I have, on several occasions been given the opportunity to do presentations and that has significantly boosted my confidence being a teacher and I firmly believe that, the same confidence will be passed on to my students and help them become confident English speakers.

Depending on what my students are looking for when booking lessons with me, I tailor my lessons to their specific needs so that learning is easier and fun for them. By offering trial lessons, I can also help a student decide on where they must put their focus by accessing their level of English. For students who already have an idea of where they would love to improve their English, I offer conversational English, English for travel and grammar as well, but you are more than welcome to suggest anything outside of what has been mentioned and if it is within my area of expertise then I will gladly assist.
