内容简介 Book Description
From wazzocks to tossers, streaky bacon to bubble and squeak, nooky, snogging, effing and blinding - all are made clear in this fun phrasebook. It includes chapters on Cockney slang, Scottish Gaelic and Welsh, and an extensive vocabulary list from Scouse to Geordie, and Brummie to Estuary English.

This new language guide demysitifies the "mother tongue" for English-speaking visitors to Britain. It includes chapters on dialects and accents, as well as Scottish and Welsh, and an extensive vocabulary list.

'Lighthearted and informative. Amusing...lively...and eminently accessible. A fascinating store of information.'

- JDA Widdowson, Director, The National Centre for English Cultural Tradition, The University of Sheffield
