Spoken Japanese endings and expressions

#1
Hello,

I was wondering if there were some web pages or books dealing in detail with spoken Japanese.
I am particularly interested in the endings, but not only.
Things like って りゃ にゃ ちゃえ なんて っきゃ っつっ and so on
Thank you

Try reading Manga. It's 90% dialogue so it's a good way to get used to a lot of the slangy conjugations etc. Novels can be good too if they have a lot of dialogue.

That's exactly the point: I find so many of such epressions but I often have a hard time understanding them in detail (the overall meaning is usually clear though) so I was wondering if anyone ever analysed them in depth, providing explanations and examples.
Cheers

http://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/colloquial-contractions.html has a list but I wouldn't call it "in detail".
