    Of course slang has its place in popular culture and will always be popular lingo , but I think it's pitiful if one's vocabulary is limited to and relegated to only knowing slang. I saw a news article a few years ago about a student who failed his English exam after he used phone text and limited character Twitter lingo, (e.g;- 'how R U 2day M8?',) and because he used a load of slang whilst writing his English essay. (E.g; 'Oi, guv...I'm on the dog and bone...' and whatever else they say in Cockney slang.)

    Here's some proper English:


    Chuka Umunna is a politician and former MP who was born in London, England. His father, Bennett, of the Nigerian Igbo ethnic group and owner of an import-export business, died in a road accident in Nigeria in 1992. Umunna's mother, Patricia Milmo, a solicitor, is of English-Irish background.

    Umunna's maternal grandparents were Joan Frances (Morley) and Sir Helenus Milmo QC, a High Court judge.

    He is married to Alice Sullivan, an English employment lawyer. The couple have a daughter, born in 2017.

    Umunna was educated at the boys' independent senior private school St Dunstan's College, where he played the cello.

    During this period he was also a chorister at Southwark Cathedral.

    He was awarded an upper second class LLB in English and French Law from the University of Manchester; after graduating he studied for one term at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, before studying for an MA at Nottingham Trent.
    It's like someone claiming, 'I've learned German' - but only knowing German slang: https://www.fluentin3months.com/german-slang/

    My sister speaks fluent High German by the way and learnt both Latin and German after academically earning her place in a Grammar School for intelligent pupils. Her German was good enough for her to live and work abroad for several years.
