Hi Michela

I can help you with English slang and idioms if you like (mainly British, although I know some American ones). For example,

* bloke = man.
* bird = woman (usually only used by men).
* looker = an attractive person (e.g. "he's a real looker").
* fit/hot = an attractive person (e.g. "she's a fit looking bird").
* piece of cake = something which is very easy ("my maths homework was a piece of cake, but chemistry was very difficult").
* pig-headed = obstinate ("Stop being pig-headed and just tell her you're sorry").
* take the piss = make fun of somebody (e.g. "Are you taking the piss?")
* muck about/around = mess around, fool about. (e.g. "Stop mucking about and get ready for dinner.")
* muck someone about = cause someone to have to change their plans by doing something inconsiderate. (e.g. "Don't muck me about here, I don't have time for this. Just make your decision now.")

If you want to know more you can reply here. I'm not a gold member I'm afraid.
