1.The slang often creates a barrier. And here I'm talking about two different kinds: the first, I guess, would be just the idomatic expressions that are used, and of which new ones are made all the time (esp by young people). Those kinds of expressions are hard for even older native English speaking to keep up with!!
2.Then there are things like phrasal verbs (which, I'll call a kind of slang for argument's sake).
3.The idioms are insanely difficult for others to understand. ("Rains cats and dogs," "see the light," etc.)
4.Spellings in english is hard...because so many words have extra letters that you don't need...like through...psycology.The fact that the spelling is far from phonetic - the same combinations of letters can stand for totally different words, like the "ough" in "tough", "though", "drought", etc.

To make it easier for children, those who teach them should avoid using slang, idioms, and long words, try to see the situation from a child's point of view, and, to start with, get children to try to read short, simple pieces of writing such as nursery rhymes or poems, rather than whole books.

If you were to pick up a book and either at the top or bottom of the title page, you saw the word "CAMBRIDGE" on it, what do you think this word is trying to tell you? Or, what does this word mean?
