Lesson Introduction
We are taking back in time to the disco era! Join us today and learn some very casual and informal slang that was used in the 70's and is also commonly used today! In this podcast lesson, Marco and Erica will teach you how you can use these terms in different situations and sound more like a native speaker! Come on! It's time to boogie!

A: Hey man! How’s it hanging?
B: Hey man! Everything is just groovy baby!
A: Did you go to the roller rink on Saturday? I heard it was far out, man!
B: I wanted to, but I ran into this foxy lady that just moved to my block! I was chatting her up a bit and  hen we mellowed out at her place.
A: Right on, right on! Well, Jim went to the rink with Sherry and he said it was dy-no-mite! He was low
on bread, but Sherry paid for everything.
B: Gravy! Jim is such a jive turkey man. He is always hitting me up for cash. Anyway, you wanna book
and go grab some grub?

A: Yeah man, I’m starving!
