One of the greatest things I've been learning here so far is the side of language you can't learn from a text book. I've been learning slang and the less formal "street talk". One of my favorite things to do here is get together with our correspondants (French university students my age) and trade slang words.
My favorite so far is Tektonik. I laugh even thinking about it. It's a type of dance that at the moment is very popular here. It always goes to techo-style music and it's very interesting to say the least. My correspondant is not a huge fan of it, it's for a very particular group. Sometimes at night walking down the street I'll see a group of teens on the street in a group dancing Tektonik.
Here's an example: Tektonik
