The short answer to your question is: somewhere in-between.\n\nPhrases like "wait a minute", "that's what I call", and "I bet" are phrases that Americans would use in everyday life.  However, there are characteristics of the dialogue on movies and television shows that are not like realistic language.  For one thing, on television the things that people say don't overlap with each other much, while in normal conversation there is a lot of overlap between utterances.  In addition, people on television never have a misunderstanding and have to repair it like people in real life sometimes do.  The structure of conversations is different, and so forth.\n\nI think you might be able to discover the answer to this question if you think about television programs in Spanish.  You'll be able to recognize that there are similarities and differences.

however, not all native English speakers write or speak grammatically correct.\n\ni spot an error that could be overlooked by many in your sentence. "........., the first thing they usually mention is.."\n\nwould be better if "...........the first thing they usually mention has.."

English -- what's your REAL question?

Actually, I think reading books and even watching television can be very helpful. Also, go out and socialize in a group setting with people who speak English with proper grammar. While having a conversation you will hear how they set up their sentences and will easily pick up the essential rules needed in English.
