Answer 1

Because that's the language. I don't know of any place that advertises teaching Spanish slang.

I don't know anything about the person who asked the question, but many years ago when I taught high school, the kids mostly wanted to learn vulgar Spanish (or French). Can you imagine someone speaking English who only knew our vulgar words? - Jubilado, Apr 22, 2016

I understand...but on the same token, everybody wants to know "bad" words, which I consider a bit different than slang proper. Right? - chileno, Apr 22, 2016

Answer 2

Not asking for slang. I am asking for translation for "tu" versus "usted" as in speaking to an employee or subordinate.

You need to start our lessons , using formal Spanish will get you anywhere and everywhere ,showing respect is always in vogue. in any language . - ray76, Apr 22, 2016

Answer 3

Agreed on showing respect. However, in all of the romance languages and many non-romance languages, it is known and a given that there are two forms of address, formal and informal (or familiar). E.g., Spanish (usted vs. tu), French (vous vs. tu), and even German (sie vs.du), going all the way back to Latin (vos vs. tu). In one's own household, for example, it is not common to use the formal form of address when addressing one's loved ones. I was simply asking if there was an online translator which translates into informal (or familiar) Spanish. If anyone knows of one, please let me know.
