Mind your manners, Milano! Speak modern English after all!
Open to any feedback
Today I learn idioms in English. I hope I could use them to make a strong impression when I'll be invited to the royal ball, for example. ( Of course, I'll need a nice new shiny dress and a Prince to accompany me, but that's another story ) Today I am glad to present you the short list of 5 best candidates: 1. Dodgy - means suspicious or potentially unsafe . ( but I thought it is something about dogs, don't know why ) That guy looks dodgy. Be careful!
2 Ghosting - when somebody stopped suddenly all communications. Very popular last couple of years, I mean both the word and the behaviour. The recruiter just ghosted after I told him my salary expectations.
3. Slay -means to do something very well. She totally slayed her text at langcorrect today.
4 Stan - to be a fan of something I stan of english lessons in the university . They're my favorite.
5.Binge-watch -to see the whole serial\s season at once, during one evening. We binged-wathed this season yesterday with my friends.
That's it for today . I feel a liitle bit like Eliza Doolittle learning all these words. See you next time. .
Mind your manners, Milano! Speak modern English after all!
I'm not sure what the intended meaning here is. You could say "Speak modern English!" as an imperative that you should speak modern English. You could also say "You speak modern English after all", which implies you should mind your manners because you speak modern English.
Today I learnlearnt some idioms in English.
Learned or learnt both work here. It sounds better to indicate the amount of idioms (you could also say "a few idioms", "lots of idioms", "5 idioms", etc.). If you didn't want to indicate the amount, you could say "Today I studied idioms in English" or "Today I studied English idioms" (the second one sounds better to me). Also technically these aren't considered idioms, as idioms are usually phrases with a non-literal meaning. I would consider these to be slang moreso than idioms.
I hope I couldcan use them to make a strong impression, when I'll be for example, if I am invited to thea royal ball, for example.
Using "when" instead of "if" makes it seems like you know at some point you will be invited to a royal ball. While you can leave for example at the end of the sentence, the meaning is clearer if you put it first so a reader knows that the royal ball is an example.
(Of course, I'll need a nice new shiny dress and a Princeprince to accompany me, but that's another story)
Prince only needs to be capitalised if it's used as a proper noun (a name).

Glad is not usually used in this context, try "excited", or "happy"
1. Dodgy - means suspicious or potentially unsafe .

We often say "ghosted me" instead of just "ghosted" but both make sense

Stan can be used as a verb or a noun. So you can either say "I stan English lessons" or "I am a stan of English lessons". In my opinion, I hear it more used as a verb such as in the first example.
5.Binge-watch -to seewatch the whole serial\s season at once, during one evening.
I don't often see serial used to describe TV but people in other countries may use this.

If you use "we", it's already in plural so it can sounds strange to then say "we... with my friends"
That's it for today .

Overall feedback
Good job learning these new words! It can be hard to work out how to use slang naturally. Just watch out for punctuation as well, avoid spaces before full stops and inside brackets.

"Ghosting" is something that is done to someone, so the person must be specified.
4 Stan - to be a fan of something
No change suggested
This is the direct translation, but "stan" usually means to be a dedicated supporter of something.
