Why You WIll Never Reach Fluent Comprehension If You Don’t Understand Them?

Here are 2 reasons why you should study curse and strong words expressions when learning English:

Native speakers use curse words and expressions in everyday conversations

If you plan to study English to speak with native speakers, then you better learn strong words. Native speakers won’t always use formal expressions, otherwise, it would be difficult to establish a real connection. When breaking the ice, it’s not uncommon to joke around or even use curse words for a reason or another. So it is best to at least learn some curse words and expressions if you plan to make friends, to catch everything during small talks.

Curse words are used all throughout English culture

If you turn on any popular English TV show you are quickly going to see the value of learning curse words. Just like everyday conversations, English culture is filled with curse words or expressions. Without some knowledge, popular culture and informal conversation can be quite confusing.

The Dark Side of English Curse Words

Identifying English curse words will help you improve your comprehension, give you a better understanding of people and culture. However, using those vulgar words can make you look like a fool, uneducated and disrespectful. Words can be offensive, use the wrong ones and you will quickly turn out to be rude and mean people.

You need to pay attention to understand the context and the cultural sensitivity to use them with caution if you ever decide to use them! Never forget to be responsible and feel the emotion behind the words and how they affect others. I am sure you don’t want English people not only to take you for a creep but also to hate you. Right?
