My intuition (and complete guess) is that ML is pretty far away from distinguishing slang words. Maybe it can understand it, at least to some extent, but categorizing it by country (well you really even need region) is harder.

I'm Australian, and I would never recommend that someone learn English by listening to one of my countrymen. We are lazy, nasal, slurred speakers. Standard English or American are much more preferable.

You chose an example that is ubiquitous in USA, like "gonna".

It's not just going. It's nearly any word ending in a g.

Ending = endin Surfing = surfin

In Australia "Gonna" = "Going to"

USA too.

You can choose between US, UK and AUS.
