Have her watch the Britcoms on your local PBS Station or rent videos of Red Dwarf, Keeping Up Apparences, Are You Being Served?, Waiting for God, Vicar of Dibley, As Time Goes By, or even the British Mysteries! My kids were raised on the Britcoms and learned quite a few of slang words to throw back to some of the scholl bullies! Especially stupid git and SMEGHEAD! That's from Red Dwarf! Doctor Who is hard to find, but loved it, and when it is on, we watch that too! They listened to the radio version of Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy! Very funny! But we knew the differences because of watching British Shows. Love their Slang!
