I've been learning a language, and somtimes i try to read serious books, but even serious books have SLANG and idioms which i don't understand. Sure i could go head and buy books, but there's books for every little thing, it's not all in one book, example: I bought 2 books ,Idioms and Onomatopoeai. that's pretty expensive already... but then i see the bookstore has a bunch other books like HOW TO TALK ABOUT LOVE IN JAPANESE, and many others like this. .
i don't want to have to buy all the books in the store. So how do i learn if i'm not a rich person who can afford to travel to the country and stay there for years. And i don't want to have to buy videos either, as i am poor and don't like watching too much tv.
Are there any books that would have a thorough introduction to slang , idioms, and everything?
I also don't have opportunities to speak to people from those countries. So, should i just forget it and accept that i will never be as fluent as people who travel?
