Slanguage
The illustrated youthful Italian slang pocket dictionary
Slanguage is a vade-mecum of voyage about youthful spoken language which can help you to understand youthful culture by the appropriation of language used by authors themselves, allowing you to relate and interact in a more active way with local individuals of the same age.
In particular the pocket dictionary is divided in sections: clothes, sex&love, going out, lifestyle, chat&sms and gestures, and it also presents a series of authorial illustration.
The prototype has been created for an English guy who is coming to Italy.
