Congratulations on deciding to learn how to understand and communicate your kids
(congratz on *trying* 2 understand & tlk 2 ur kidz lol)
There are two basic languages:
*Chat speak
*Text speak (or txt spek)
There is also:
*lol speak
but that is a lot harder.
Text Speak is a little easier, take out all unnecessary vowels. But you should know some basic chat Speak to be able to speak it. Eventually, it will be so hard to not talk like that you will get told off my your boss for sounding like a teenager. (:D) w00tness lest start.
This is still English, but there is a different grammar, very different punctuation and new spelling and sometimes entirely new words.
ABOUT "zippi's guide" AND LEARNING:
Try to do one post a day, at the end there are fun quizzes and of course try to IM or text your children/cool friends so that you can reinforce the lesson. There are generally t parts to a section, so you will do a post a day. There are 5 lessons per week then on the weekend you get the "Culture Shock" post and then the quiz.
Good luck!
