Instead of saying 'how are you' to a friend say 'All right' (Should be pronounced Aw rate ) Also, instead of saying someone's name, call them 'babes' or 'bruv' (Works for BOTH genders!)

This will help to get into the habit of saying it.

Especially within a monologue : for example, "I was like... an' she was like.... an' 'e was like .... "

for example: "That were a well good lesson! Ms________ is a proper good teacher, like!" This will make you sound natural.

This will make you look fake and stupid. Instead, try out one new word at a time. ^{[4]

Aitches are to be dropped (this has no chav status in North/Midlands, where it's normal). ^{[5]

Don't put anybody down! Always be nice, just say it in a different way!

Because the word "chav" is often used as an insult, be mindful of how associating certain behaviors with a "chavvy" personality may be perceived by others.

Swearing is proper chavvy, but it isn't pleasant. Don't use bad language! Especially around younger children.
