[...] Research has shown that in order to learn vocabulary, learners need to understand the meaning, store the lexical items in the brain and retrieve them for future use; one important way to facilitate this process is by categorizing the words and practicing them in an enjoyable way. In one volume Slang Activity Book features a variety of exercises which have been organized by category in order to facilitate practicing vocabulary in a fun and meaningful manner.

The key is more than just a key; it offers explanations and useful translations for the answers to the activities.
